It’s just unbelievable. Must have happened very recently. Was watching the pro bowl pregame and nothing was said at all.

I just confirmed it with my buddy who is Deputy Chief with LA City Fire. Right now it doesn't sound like his wife or kids were with him.

My buddy is now hearing one or more of his daughters was also on board the helicopter. So tragic!

His youngest was an infant. That doesn’t seem possible.

Absolutely heartbroken. I took for granted that I'd get to see him as an elder statesman on the NBA sidelines for the rest of my life.

People on twitter are pointing out that Rick Fox was liking things on Twitter about an hour ago.
Lots of unverified BS right now.

TMZ is reporting his daughter Gianna was killed in the crash.
Authorities on the scene are trying to confirm if Rick Fox was on the helicopter too.

Tragic, especially the young ones on this flight.
Somehow, the thing that overwhelms me about all this is that THE Kobe Bryant, the most hardass, tough, dominating persona possibly in sports history, flew home from Philadelphia late last night, got home, caught a few hours of sleep and was up early to take his daughter to her basketball practice on a Sunday morning. I don't know how many billionaire guys who literally have the world at their feet jump on a red eye coast to coast flight on a Saturday night from a celebration night like last night to get home to take their 13 year old daughters to practice early the next morning, but Kobe did. I don't really need to know a damn thing else about his entire life. That's a good man, period. I gotta think in those last moments, he was just holding on to his little girl and making her feel comforted till the end.
