DEAD: Kobe Bryant

THE WORLD is in shock with the news that NBA legend Kobe Bryant has died today in a helicopter crash aged just 41. His teenage daughter, Gianna, was also killed in the accident.

The LA Lakers star was travelling with three others in a private aircraft when it came down in Calabasas near LA, California.

The LA County Sheriff’s department said that five people died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas on Sunday, with no survivors.

Bryant was one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Five-time NBA champion Bryant played his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He retired in April 2016.

Bryant’s achievements include being the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player and two-time NBA Finals MVP. He was also two-time NBA scoring champion and a two-time Olympic champion.

He is survived by his wife, Vanessa, and three daughters – Natalia and Bianca and Capri.
