Really hope it's proven to be untrue but it seems real.

Terrible tragedy for the Bryant family and everybody connected to him, obviously.

I feel even worse for the three others who were killed and who won't be eulogized as "heroes" or national treasures. They were every bit as important.

Shocking to hear the news. As Koby was just in news on Saturday.

Everything seems to mention 5 people, so I don’t believe this is accurate. I sure hope it isn’t.

Sources are confirming his daughters weren't on board.  No word on Rick Fox yet.

I'm just numb.  Not a Lakers fan, and I never had a Kobe jersey, but im 34 and for me Kobe WAS the NBA when I was a teen.  The mini fro, the dunk contest, the demeanor.  I LOVED watching him.  And for all his controversy and demeanor as a player, all anyone has been able to do since he retired was talk about how involved he was as a father and how committed he was to teaching his kids the game.

This absolutely sucks.  I'm at a loss

Middle daughter who was a standout young player, she's the one in the video with them sitting courtside that he's explaining strategy too.  Ugh, this is beyond awful.

GiGi was on board, his 13 year old.  They were flying to Thousand Oaks.  Kobe has been flying in helicopters for such a long time, since his days living in Newport Beach.  Tragic.

Sounds like it was to a game of hers. Another parent and player on board. So very sad.

Wasn’t a fan of his teams but respected his drive and his game. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe it.
