Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash in Southern California on Sunday, officials said.
Bryant, the fourth-leading scorer in NBA history, retired in 2016 after spending 20 years with the Los Angeles Lakers. In addition to his five NBA championships, he was selected to the All-Star team 18 times and earned the MVP award in 2008.
Orange Coast College head baseball coach John Altobelli also died in the crash, the school said in a statement. It’s unclear who else was abroad the helicopter.
