That's awful. Five people were on board, no survivors. His wife was not on the helicopter, it was his private helicopter.

They have four daughters, youngest one born in June of last year.

Oh this is very sad!  He was so young!

I'm not a basketball fan but I can remember when he was in high school our local news made a big deal about him and how he was a promising up and coming star.

from TMZ:

Kobe Bryant died in a helicoper crash in Calabasas Sunday morning ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Kobe was traveling with at least 3 other people in his private helicopter when it went down. A fire broke out. Emergency personnel responded, but nobody on board survived. 5 people are confirmed dead. We're told Vanessa Bryant was not among those on board.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Kobe has famously used a helicopter to travel for years -- dating back to when he played for the Lakers. He was known for commuting from Newport Beach, CA to the STAPLES Center in DTLA in his Sikorsky S-76 chopper.

KB is survived by his wife Vanessa, and their four daughters -- Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and their newborn Capri.
