Jan 26, 2020 | 2:00 PM

Multiple sources have confirmed that NBA legend Kobe Bryant has died at the age of 41, in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California Sunday morning.

Bryant was traveling in his private helicopter when it crashed, killing all passengers on board. One of those victims was his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna.

Original reports had indicated that five people were aboard the ill-fated chopper. Following a statement from the L.A. County Sheriff on Sunday afternoon, possibly up to nine people may have been on board.

Bryant was a father of four daughters.

The crash comes just one day after current Laker Lebron James passed Bryant for third all-time on the NBA’s scoring list. Bryant took to Twitter to congratulate James last night.
