Kobe Bryant dies in California helicopter crash
Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar who won five championships with the team and was often compared to Michael Jordan, died Sunday in a helicopter crash. He was 41.
Officials confirm to Variety that Bryant was a passenger on board a helicopter that crashed in the L.A. Country suburb of Calabasas.
TMZ first reported the news.
Bryant was allegedly traveling in his own private helicopter when it crashed. At least three other people were killed.
Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fatal crash.

I was expecting Trump's to have some negative jibe in it, especially after starting with "despite", but looks like he just copied Obama's comment.Former US President Barack Obama wrote on Twitter: "Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day."
Current US President Donald Trump said: "Kobe Bryant, despite being one of the truly great basketball players of all time, was just getting started in life. He loved his family so much, and had such strong passion for the future. The loss of his beautiful daughter, Gianna, makes this moment even more devastating."
The annual reminder to myself to not get into any helicopter that isn't a Huey with 100 bullet holes in it, yet is still somehow miraculously in the air. RIP.
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
