Kobe Bryant and his daughter were among five people killed in a helicopter crash

Legendary NBA player Kobe Bryant has died in a California helicopter crash, reports said Sunday.

Kobe Bryant, 41, and his daughter Gianna Maria Onore, 13, were two of five people who were tragically killed when Bryant’s private helicopter crashed.  

The passengers were traveling in his private helicopter over Calabasas when a fire broke out, sending the chopper spiraling from the sky, according to TMZ Sports. 

TMZ reports, they were on their way to the Mamba Academy. Along with him and his daughter was another player and parent.  

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones! Yesterday was at LeBron James game last night cheering him on as he passed Kobe record 😞🙏🏾
