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.
