NBA legend Kobe Bryant. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson, File) NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven others were killed Sunday when their helicopter crashed into a hillside in dense fog in Calabasas, California. Bryant’s sudden death at age 41 touched off an outpouring of grief for a star whose celebrity transcended basketball. The passengers were on their way to a basketball game when the chopper went down. The helicopter was flying in foggy conditions considered dangerous enough that local police agencies grounded their choppers. 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.

He also won an Academy Award in 2018 for his contributions to “Dear Basketball,” an animated short about his relationship to the game.

ETHAN MILLER / GETTY 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. In 2018, Kobe Bryant told Jimmy Kimmel that his daughter has aspirations to be a pro basketball player. He adds that he expected her to carry on her legacy. “This kid, man… the best thing that happens is when we go out, and fans will come up to me,” Bryant said. “And she’ll be standing next to me, and they will be like, ‘you gotta have a boy, you and V gotta have a boy man, to have somebody carry on the tradition, the legacy.’ John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli and Alyssa Altobelli John Altobelli was the head baseball coach at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa. His wife Keri and their daughter Alyssa were also on board. John Altobelli PHOTO VIA ORANGE COAST COLLEGE CBS Boston reports Altobelli was a former coach of the Brewster Whitecaps on Cape Cod.
