Kobe Bryant DEAD at 41

Just happened... helicopter crash. Unbelievable.

I'm actually very sad.

Shocked

Mortal like the rest of us but a shock none the less.

Even as a Kings fan, very very sad news to hear. Hope he is in a better place. A damn Helicopter of all things.

We will always love you Kobe!
God bless your family.
May you now rest in peace.

Wife and I were saying the same thing...rip black mamba

Damn I just woke up turned on espn and saw this.Thank you Kobe for everything and god bless your family brotha.

Absolutely unbelievable. Man life is so fragile. Guy was literally alive yesterday and then just like that in the snap of a finger, gone and now just a memory. And he undoubtedly gave Laker fans and NBA fans in general, many of them.

RIP to Kobe and the others who were also killed in the crash as reports say there were no survivors, so his wasn’t the only life that was lost and whose loved ones just had their lives changed forever today. Death doesn’t care if you’re a celebrity or not.

I'm in shock.............RIP

RIP.

Helicopters terrify me. Never been in one and never will if I can help it.

His daughter died too.

I still haven't heard anything about the other passengers or his daughter.

TMZ is reporting it.

His daughter was with him man what a tragic day.����

it's one thing going alone, i couldn't imagine knowing my child was going to go as well....

Exactly my initial thought.

She was only 13 also. Tragic.

Man, I'm at a loss. Prayers to all nine people on that helicopter. Prayers to the Bryant family, Vanessa lost her husband and 13 year old daughter today. Devastating for her. LA will always be Kobe's town, now and forever. RIP.

As a lifelong Laker fan, this is just devastating to me. I grew up on 3 Laker stars...Magic, Shaq, and Kobe. Kobe the longest...watched pretty much every game he ever played in. To know his 13 year old daughter also passed is just too painful as a parent. Just a terribly tragic day. Never been so distraught over the death of someone famous. Hit way too close to home...he will be truly missed...

Absolute tragedy.
