Rip my favorite player as a kid too sad just got this alert on my phone Image Unavailable, Please Login
This is terrible and unbelievably sad. I was just reading his interviews and last tweet about LeBron passing him in scoring and how happy he was for him. I can't believe this.
Shocked. All of LA must be freaking out right now Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
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. so still waiting to find out who the other 2 passengers were but ABC said 3 of his daughters were on board but so far only 1 daughter has been confirmed on board
Absolutely terrible. Some reports say another player was on the helicopter and another parent. They were going to Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks.
This is absolutely reprehensible. TMZ broadcasts this over TV and radio and his family doesn't even know of it yet. What a--holes. Whatever happened to decency and waiting until family members were notified properly?
That disappeared with the 'media' about 8 years ago, along with fair and unbiased political 'coverage'.
Very sad, I’m not a aviation expert but LA sheriffs, LAPD, LAFD, and CHP were not flying today. The weather was pretty hideous. Makes me wonder why other helos were up.
I'm not sure how you get 9 people in this helicopter unless 3 or 4 are kids but yes, the death toll is now 9 and Santa Monica news is reporting 3 of Kobes kids were on board plus his daughter's friend and their parent. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm praying you're right and the 9 fatalities is going to be wrong. Otherwise it unfortunately looks like more children could account for that based on your photos. This shock is giving me flashbacks to 1999 with the way Payne Stewart died. I still remember the following day with that when I was in high school in Orlando as he lived there. Horrific way to go and I can never forget it like what's going on today.
Not the way they should have been informed. The practice by responsible media is to withhold the names of deceased until the family has been properly notified. How would you have felt?
