Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, 41, died in a helicopter crash on Sunday morning in California. Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, was also on board, TMZ and ESPN reported.
TMZ was the first to report that Bryant was among those on the helicopter when it went down in the hills of Calabasas and a fire broke out. The crash occurred before 10 a.m. PT, and the fire made it difficult for firefighters and emergency personnel to get to the aircraft, according to the Los Angeles Times.
