Woj, KTLA, TMZ: Kobe Killed in Helicopter Crash

[Shill Jackson]

Incredibly sad. Wow.

A private heli flew low over my job this morning and we were speculating that it was him.

[AlaskaHawks]

I too hope the piece about the daughters is wrong. Appears only ABC News saying that...

Realllyyyyy hope that's not true. This is too fucking much.

[FPL]

Local news saying the kids are ok?

[Y2K]

This is just awful. His poor family.

7 month old will never know her father...

[vcsgrizzfan]

Life is too short already. RIP Kobe.

[FPL]

Local news saying the kids are ok?

Tweet has been deleted now. Not sure what's going on.

[manchild98]

You would hope a close family friend or relative would tweet the kids weren't with him and are ok.

[Y2K]

I haven't seen anywhere that confirms any of the daughters nor Rick Fox being on that helicopter.

[rileymartin]

It looks like his 13 year old was on board....Sad

It's not a philosophy I subscribe too, but it seems apt today - eat dessert first...

[AlaskaHawks]

So many rumors swirling. This is brutal. Kobe is bad enough. I am sincerely devastated right now, and can only hope and pray his daughters weren't on board. Sad day.

Unfortunately, this was an update on TMZ:

12:35 PM PT -- Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria Onore -- aka GiGi -- was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13.
We're told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks.

This is so damn sad. Like a bad dream and you just wanna wake up

One of them was.

[LNS]

Damn... kills me about his daughter.

R.I.P.

[Havlicekstealsit]

His oldest is 17 I believe, Natalia. Think that was the one in a recent meme of them going around.

[Bush4Ever.]

That brings an entirely new level to this.

My heart is hurting for them, and the survivors.

I'll be squeezing my daughters extra-hard tonight.
