United States basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna have died in a helicopter crash in California.
The 41-year-old former Los Angeles Lakers guard and five-time National Basketball Association champion was travelling with eight other people in his private helicopter when it crashed in Calabasas, California, about 65 kilometres north-west of Los Angeles.
In a press conference, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said nine people including the pilot were listed on the manifest, and there are no survivors.
Officials won’t release the names of the deceased until a coroner report is complete.
