Victims In Kobe Bryant Crash Have Now All Been Identified
![]() Here’s what is known so far about the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of Kobe Bryant and eight other people. Nine people were on board the Sikorsky S76 when something went wrong just before 10 a.m. Sunday. The passengers were on their way to a basketball game when the chopper went down. The helicopter’s flight path shows it going from Orange County to the San Fernando Valley and then hovering over the Glendale area as it waited for clearance to travel through the Valley to Calabasas. The tracking ends at the crash site in Calabasas. Kobe Bryant’s 13-year old daughter Gianna was among those killed. Gianna — often called “Gigi” — was the second oldest of Bryant’s four daughters. Bryant had coached Gianna’s AAU basketball team out of his Mamba Sports Academy training facility in Thousand Oaks for the past two years. They were all reportedly headed to an AAU game when the crash happened. In addition to Bryant and his daughter, three members of one family died in the crash. Sarah Chester and her middle school aged daughter Payton were on also on board the helicopter piloted by Ara Zobayan. |
