If you are a celebrity and can afford a chopper stay away from S-76.

Not to inflame ...
But how do they not know who was on there?
I know family must be informed first ... but it does seem odd.
RIP to all of them ...

How is it odd when it's very possible that people are at the scene doing the reporting vs. people talking to the helicopter company? And the helicopter company may not be forthcoming with the information due to the privacy of the client. You also have that there isn't necessarily a "manifest" the way there is with Airlines.

Such Sad news. Taken so early. RIP

what did Tanguay say?

Just asking ... sorry.

RIP to all that were on board!

He was on his way to the Mamba Tournament ...
So many are hoping his daughter was already there.
But this may be where the speculation is coming from ... they should wait for facts.

So sorry.

God bless his family

They are confirming it now .......

The KobeSystem commercials always cracked me up back in the day

WTF

Seeing the video of him with his daughter Gianna just brings tears to the eyes. Just absolutely awful.

I read a story a few years back about how Kobe and his Wife had separate helicopters to go to events/places so if the helicopter went down, the kids wouldn’t be left with no parents. If I remember correctly, he went everywhere in a helicopter. This is just mind numbing, and tragic. Live life the same way you do everyday and just like that, you’re gone. RIP Kobe and all others lost in the wreck, and I hope the family and friends can find a way to grieve in private.

His daughter and one of her teammates. Two kids. God.

No words. Tough enough losing your father/spouse. Can’t imagine what the family is going through to have the first born taken much too early as well. Prayers to them.

If you have your own children such terrible news tear your heart and imagination apart.

Horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to his other 3 daughters and his wife.
They lost a daughter/sister and dad/husband.
My twins are almost same age as Gianna.
Unbearable grief losing a child- especially when they are still a child.
