This is so sad to report...Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas Sunday morning ... TMZ Sports has confirmed...

quote:
Kobe was traveling with at least 3 other people in his private helicopter when it went down. A fire broke out. Emergency personnel responded, but nobody on board survived. 5 people are confirmed dead. We're told Vanessa Bryant was not among those on board.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Kobe has famously used a helicopter to travel for years -- dating back to when he played for the Lakers. He was known for commuting from Newport Beach, CA to the STAPLES Center in DTLA in his Sikorsky S-76 chopper.

KB is survived by his wife Vanessa, and their four daughters -- Gianna, Natalia and Bianca and their newborn Capri.

This was his last tweet from last night...

Man that's terrible. Never get in a helicopter or small plane if you are famous

Or if you are not. I've flown in both but I don't think that I'd fly in either again.
