CALABASAS, Calif. (WJW) — Former professional basketball player Kobe Bryant and his daughter were killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday, according to multiple outlets.

Variety and TMZ were among the first to report Bryant, 41, was traveling in a private helicopter with several others when it went down. No one on board survived. A source also confirmed the tragic news to The Associated Press.

According to TMZ, Bryant’s 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, was one of the victims.

They were reportedly on their way to Mamba Academy for a basketball practice.

The 18-time NBA All-Star, who won five championships, became one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during a 20-year career spent entirely with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryant retired in 2016 as the third-leading scorer in NBA history, finishing two decades with the Lakers as a prolific scorer with a sublime all-around game and a relentless competitive ethic. He held that spot in the league scoring ranks until Saturday night, when the Lakers’ LeBron James passed him for third place during a game in Philadelphia, Bryant’s hometown.

“Continuing to move the game forward (at)KingJames,” Bryant wrote in his last tweet. “Much respect my brother.”

Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother 💪🏾 #33644 — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) January 26, 2020

Bryant had one of the greatest careers in recent NBA history and became one of the game’s most popular players as the face of the 16-time NBA champion Lakers franchise. He was the league MVP in 2008 and a two-time NBA scoring champion, and he earned 12 selections to the NBA’s All-Defensive teams.

He teamed with Shaquille O’Neal in a combustible partnership to lead the Lakers to NBA titles in 2000, 2001 and 2002. He later teamed with Pau Gasol to win two more titles in 2009 and 2010.
