The pilot of the doomed helicopter that crashed and killed Kobe Bryant, his teenage daughter and several others was praised as the “sweetest” man who was “especially attentive” to the basketball legend’s family.

The remaining three people aboard the chopper in Sunday’s fiery California crash were identified as pilot Ara Zobayan and mother and daughter Sarah and Payton Chester.

Zobayan was an experienced flyer who “taught aspiring heli pilots to fly and was very much loved in the aviation community,” KTLA’s Christina Pascucci, who is also a licensed pilot, said on Twitter.

Zobayan was “instrument rated,” Pascucci said, meaning that he “was rated to fly in fog/clouds” — the conditions that plagued Sunday’s flight.

He was also confirmed as the pilot in a series of tweets by a friend in the business, using the Twitter name Bella.

“Rest In Peace Ara. One of the sweetest pilots I’ve ever have had the pleasure to meet and converse with while working in the aviation business,” she tweeted, calling him “the sweetest, the funniest… he was purely amazing.”

“Working for the aviation business has allowed me to meet some pretty amazing people and pilots. Ara was definitely one of them,” she wrote in another tweet. “Always so nice, talkative and especially attentive when it came to Kobe and his family. I’m heart broken.”

Mom Sarah Chester and her 13-year-old daughter, Payton, were also on board, with the girl’s brother writing a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram alongside a photo of his lost loved ones.

“Rest In Peace to the most amazing Mother and sister. I love you Pay Pay and Mom RIP❤️❤️,” Riley Chester wrote.

All nine aboard the Sikorsky S-76 were killed in the Calabasas crash, including Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna.

The others were girls’ basketball coach Christina Mauser, college baseball coach John Altobelli, his daughter Alyssa Altobelli and wife, Keri Altobelli.
