Its still not being reported. Have you seen it elsewhere? Seems odd this report comes out the night after LeBron passes him on the scoring list.[/QUOTE]
It literally just started being reported within the last 15 minutes

What a crazy time to be alive. First report surfaces around 2:30 of a crash, and we are left to wonder if it's true because others like ESPN don't affirm it within 5 or 10 minutes.

Even though TMZ is a smut site, they rarely have to retract something they report. Let's hope they do.

sad news........ RIP Kobe.

News literally just broke like 15-20 minutes ago....... it takes places like ESPN longer to make up tickers so chill... ESPN and other outlets will report soon.

Weird how this still isn’t on major sports and news outlets. That’s worldwide news. So sorry for his family if true. My dad was an executive the last few years of his career and flew in helicopters, He absolutely hated them.

Wow, i can't even believe this. I was just watching some Youtube videos a few days ago of him surprising sick kids and doing all kinds of charity work. He seemed like a really good dude.

CNN reporting helicopter crash in So Cal. No mention of Kobe Bryant.


Lots of outlets going off a TMZ report saying he was in the helicopter.

Let’s hope maybe there is some confusion. However, Kobe would seem like the kind of guy to immediately say he was ok if it weren’t true.

Always had a special uneasiness about helicopters because of how many famous musicians and celebs have died in crashes.

I'm not sure how the safety compares to airplanes but you'll never catch me in a helicopter.

Look in the sky. What natural thing up there aerodynamically looks like a plane?? Now find something that looks like a helicopter...that’s your answer.

Coming from someone who flew them. If you lose the power source then you’re a rock falling. Only hope is to conduct a successful autorotation which is essentially converting potential to kinetic energy at the last second to cushion the impact; small skid Helos you can slide it on gently if you nail it.

But civilian pilots don’t get reps at practicing autos

This is sickening. I’m heartbroken over it for his family. He was amazing to watch. I’m actually pretty shaken right now. I was just watching highlight videos of him last night with Lebron passing him in points.

Don’t care if you liked him as a player or not, this is terrible news. I don’t know how you can’t be sad if you’re truly a basketball fan.
