KobeBRYANTToday it was confirmed that basketball legend Kobe Bryant has died at the age of 41 in a devastating helicopter crash alongside his 13-year-old daughter Gianna.
The father and daughter were said to be heading to a basketball practice when the private chopper went down 40 miles north-west of Los Angeles.
They are survived by Kobe's wife Vanessa and daughters Natalie, 17, Bianca, two and Capri, who is just 17 weeks old.
In the weeks leading up to his death, devoted dad Kobe posted numerous pictures of his beloved girls who he was renowned as being immensely proud of, across his social media pages.
The LA Lakers legend insisted he loved being surrounded by five females and joked before his death that he wanted one more daughter with wife of 19 years Vanessa so they could start their own basketball team.
Just seven days ago, the Bryant family celebrated the 17th birthday of their eldest girl Natalie.
Kobe's social media page is also flooded with pictures of his second eldest Gianni, known affectionately as Gigi, who heartbreakingly died beside him in the crash.
The teen appeared to be taking after her MVP dad and showed a keen interest in basketball.
TMZ has reported Kobe and Gianni were on their way to the Mamba Academy in Thousand Oaks for basketball practice when Sunday's tragedy occured.
Kobe Bryant, the 18-time NBA All-Star who won five championships and became one of the greatest basketball players of his generation during a 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, died in a helicopter crash Sunday. He was 41.
