Kobe Bean Bryant (/ˈkoʊbiː/ KOH-bee; August 23, 1978 - January 26, 2020) was an American professional basketball player. A shooting guard, he spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Bryant won five NBA championships, was an 18-time All-Star, a 15-time member of the All-NBA Team, a 12-time member of the All-Defensive Team, the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), and a two-time NBA Finals MVP. Bryant also led the NBA in scoring twice, and ranks fourth in league all-time regular season and postseason scoring. He was posthumously voted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2020 and named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021.
At 9:06 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on January 26, 2020, a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter departed from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, with nine people aboard: Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, six family friends, and the pilot, Ara Zobayan. The helicopter was registered to the Fillmore-based Island Express Holding Corp., according to the California Secretary of State business database. The group was traveling to Camarillo Airport in Ventura County for a basketball game at Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks.
Due to light rain and fog that morning, the Los Angeles Police Department helicopters and most other air traffic were grounded. The flight tracker showed that the helicopter circled above the L.A. Zoo due to heavy air traffic in the area. At 9:30 a.m., Zobayan contacted the Burbank Airport's control tower, notifying the tower of the situation, and was told he was "flying too low" to be tracked by radar. At that time, the helicopter experienced extreme fog and turned south towards the mountains. At 9:40 a.m., the helicopter climbed rapidly from 1,200 to 2,000 feet (370 to 610 m), flying at 161 knots (298 km/h; 185 mph).
At 9:45 a.m., the helicopter crashed into the side of a mountain in Calabasas, about 30 miles (48 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles, and began burning. Bryant, his daughter, and the other seven occupants were all killed on impact. Initial reports indicated that the helicopter crashed in the hills above Calabasas in heavy fog. Witnesses reported hearing a helicopter struggling before crashing.
On January 28, Bryant's identity was officially confirmed using fingerprints. The following day, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner stated that the official cause of death for him and the eight others on the helicopter was blunt force trauma.
The Federal Aviation Administration, National Transportation Safety Board, and the FBI launched investigations into the crash. The cause of the crash was hard to investigate, as the helicopter was not equipped with a black box. Over a year after the crash, on February 9, 2021, the NTSB declared that pilot Ara Zobayan probably became disoriented after deciding to fly into thick clouds. The five board members also said Zobayan, who also died in the crash, ignored his training and violated federal regulations during the 40-minute flight.
On February 7, Bryant and his daughter were buried in a private funeral in Pacific View Memorial Park in the Corona del Mar neighborhood of Newport Beach, California. A public memorial service was held on February 24 (2/24, marking both Kobe's and Gianna's jersey numbers) at Staples Center with Jimmy Kimmel hosting. Speakers at the service included Vanessa, Jordan, and O'Neal, along with Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi and Geno Auriemma, Taurasi's coach at Connecticut, where Gianna had been aspiring to play - บันเทิง
This took place 10 days exactly after my daughter passed away. So thank you Scott for posting this. This is a reminder that life is way to short and life can be taken from us without a warning. R.I.P to every life taken.
RIP to your daughter.
So very sorry for your loss.
honor her brother, she is proud of you, carry on
@jeffthompson19 So sorry for your loss. No parent should have to bury their child. I can understand as my parents how to bury my twin brothers at a very young age. Yes, life is to way to short. You never know so cherish every moment.
Sorry to hear you lost your daughter. The pain can be unbearable. Please try to remember the good times with her.
I’m very sorry for your tremendous loss. May you find peace and many blessings to you and your daughter.
Scott this was beautifully done. The way you honored all 9 of the victims was very touching.
Thank you for mentioning the others that died in that plane crash as well, because most of the time the others never get mentioned. So thank you for that. To all the victims! R.I P.🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️
It doesn't matter how many times i see this, my heart still drops in the pit of my gut. Such a horrific and tragic memory for all the nine families. My they all Rest in Love and Peace. All my love, thoughts, and prayers are with the families as they try to move forward from this tragedy. Thank you Scott, i was feeling your anxiety at the beginning.
@Scott I remember that day like it was yesterday. You covered this beautifully. It’s so important to remember that there were nine people who lost their lives that day in that horrific tragic accident, and the people who love them still miss and mourn them.
It’s amazing that even though the City of Calabasas won’t allow a more permanent memorial at the site that the public will still come to mourn the loss of their person and his child.
May all those who perished that day be at peaceful rest. May The Black Mamba and La Mambacita still feel the love of their fans.
This was an extremely sad & tragic accident. Kobe was a hero to so many, young & old. Big, strong & powerful. He is missed, as are all who lost their lives that day. Thank you for taking us along. We'll done!
I was at church and one of the youth whispered it in my ear,then little by little i saw people begin looking at there phones while the sermon was going on,Unforgettable day RIP to them all🙏🏼🙏🏼
I was at church on my birthday celebrating my GG 100th birthday when I received the news💔
I'm totally shocked the governor of California and Mayor of Calabasas does not have something in or atleast around that area to remember all these beautiful people. Thanks Scott 🤟
Rip to everyone that was on that Helicopter.
Heartbreaking and tragically sad. Prayers up for all of the families involved. RIP for all of the victims. Thank you, Scott, I know many of your viewers requested this and you are not a fan of walking/hiking that far. Well done.
This still makes me cry. I have always been a huge Kobe fan. I remember that Marques and I had gone filming with you two days earlier and I was at home just relaxing when I heard it. You did such a great and respectful job. RIP to all the victims of this horrific crash.
That’s right I had just left San Antonio
Thank you for hiking all that way and treating this so respectfully. The day this happened I had just opened the store where I worked when 2 couples came in. When greeted with “Hello, how are you all?” one of the ladies said “We just saw a helicopter crash!” The store is just off the freeway and over the hill from Calabasas. One of the women kept her phone out while they all shopped and only about 15mins. later ran up to our desk saying “It’s Kobe Bryant’s helicopter- he’s dead!”
I didn’t believe it right away but then it seemed everyone who came in the store that day told us it was true. And that his daughter was with him. And 7 others. OMG.
I was never a huge Kobe fan until I went to a playoff game and saw him play. His undeniable greatness earned my respect. The future greatness possible in Gigi and the other girls is so very sad not to look forward to. Kobe was doing so much for womens b ball. RIP all nine people denied their futures in this tragic way.
I only watch these types of videos from you, Scott. You always have the utmost respect and never exploit the situation. Thank you, once again for a beautiful job well done. Also, I can understand his widow not wanting to tell where her loved ones are resting....but fans do need a place where they can go to say thank you. That is why memorials are so important.
The world has changed so much in the two and a half years since this. I remember the shock of this. Hard to believe it's been 18 months. It's been so short yet so long.
I got a quiet moment up there a couple of years ago. Humbling. Still scarring on the hillside. RIP.
P.S. If you visit please don't leave garbage behind.
This tragedy and video is so heart wrenching.
Thank you Scott.
Rest in peace to all 9 victims. 💔
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute to Kobe his daughter and the rest of the people who so tragically lost their lives. Very heartfelt!
So beautifully &🙏 respectfully done Scott. A very touching tribute to Kobe & Gianna. I can't believe it's been almost 2½ years since this terrible tragedy. I'll never forget that horrible Sunday morning when I heard the news about the helicopter🚁crash. Being a lifelong Lakers fan, I miss Kobe😢& Gigi terribly. RIP🙏Kobe🕊Gigi⚰️&🪦all of the other 7 victims of this terrible tragedy. Thank you Scott. Much love & respect.
Beautifully done, Scott. The Lakers are my favorite team. I was and still am so depressed this happened. And his daughter and others perishing in such a tragic way. Kobe did so much for charity. They are missed daily. Rest peacefully Black Mamba and Gianna, as well as the others lost. 🙏❤️🕊️
Correct
Wow great video Scott! You walked and climbed so high. Amazing video. God
Bless you and thanks for a great tribute to Kobe Bryant, his daughter and the victims. 😊
Thank you so much Rebecca
This was an absolute horrible tragedy. I can never imagine all of those poor families that lost loved ones in the way that they did. So publicly and hard to be able to mourn. it’s absolutely sad to see how close they were clearing that mountain. Rest in peace all on the helicopter.
Well done. Appreciate your walk up to the site. Beautiful tribute. RIP to all 9 victims.
This is a tough one like you said, it’s alway’s hard when children are involved. We were in CA San Diego, when this happened. We live in Orlando. So sad, such a tragic loss. To everyone who lost their life that day. 💙
what an amazing tribute when i heard about Kobe and Gigi i was at work listening to the radio and i paused i started to tear up to all the passengers that were in the crash my heart goes out to their families such a tragic loss ill never forget about that day
Seeing that CNN report at the beginning just made my stomach sink. I remember that day. I was working, and one of my co-workers showed me his phone. We have a TV where we work and it was on until we closed. It was gut wrenching. I can see how hard this was for you. But it is a beautiful tribute to all the victims of this incomprehensible tragedy. May they all Rest In Peace. Take care of yourself Scott.
Thank you for sharing. I love your compassion when you tell of the people and what happened. When I heard of this I was watching the news. RIP to Kobe, his daughter and the other victims of this tragedy.
Kudos to you Scott for doing such a wonderful and sensitive video about a heartbreaking event. And yes, it is one of those events where I remembered exactly where I was, just remembering my adult son going ‘Oh my God!’, ‘Oh my God’, numerous times. RIP. Thanks again.
I've lived in Cali 25 yrs & was home in Michigan early morning & got the news..I frantically called my family in Cali to confirm it...I cried ALL DAY..I was Blessed 2 meet him and talk with him Numerous times & met Vanessa and his Girls as one of his teammates i coached as a kid was on the Lakers and I went to Numerous of Laker games... I have Pictures that I won't post on Social media but those and the memories I keep in my heart...I STILL cannot wrap my head around this...& I still Cry..😥 My Heart Aches 4 Vanessa Losing Both a Child & Husband that day...& PRAYERS 2 the other Families & Lives Lost that Day...My Heart still Aches for those Families too...😓...Great presentation & Respect Scott🙏 .
That's great that you made it up there scott. And without any exaggeration at 15 minutes and 59 seconds for you to mention that there were seven other people that were killed in this tragedy. The Altobelli's lost the mother, father and daughter and one of her friends. Many people are still suffering after this. The neighbors the coworkers and of course family members of all those people. Why do you think the city said not to put a statue there? Thanks again Scott be safe out there see you later.
Thank you for the tribute to Kobe and his daughter. I watched the accident over and over . Finally got over the horrible tragedy. I'm from Texas. Thanks again.
I remember I was in the kitchen doing dishes and my friend called me and said quick turn on the news. And I just sunk into the couch and just cried. I just couldn’t believe it it was a sad sad day. And then also to all the others who passed that day so sad. You did a good job on this remembering the people who perished. Rest in peace to all.
I remember this story so heartbreaking and sad that all of these people lost their lives in such a tragic way! RIP to all the victims!
Scott thank you for making this video. Still in disbelief that the Black Mamba is no longer with us 🥺. R.I.P to all 9 victims. 💛
I was at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, CA watching the surfers when my husband called me and told me. I will never forget that day. 💕 good job on such a sincere tribute to all of those that were lost.
I literally kept crying like a baby watching Kobe's last NBA game... You can't even imagine how tore up I was for months when this happened..
Thank you for taking the trip up that mountain for us. You outdid yourself in the respect department, Scott. Sad they took the statue down.
Love you Scott! Thank you for acknowledging the others who died as well❤️ you do great work.
You're always very respectful in these videos. May they all rest in peace. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing. I am a die hard LAKERS FAN, KOBE BRYANT fan. I had a birthday party the evening before, and the next day.....it happened. Devastated me, and my cousin, who was asleep on my couch. I will NEVER forget. #RestBlackMamba #GiGi #OtherVictims 💜💜💜💜
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR VISITING KOBE BRYANT CRASH LOCATION, AND FOR THE HIKE UP THERE.....MAY THEY ALL R.I.P.....THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BRING US THESE EPISODES, MAY YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY 🙏👍❤️💜💘
Thx for a beautiful tribute to ALL passengers. I remember that Sunday morning drinking coffee. I'm from Los Angeles. That day I'll never forget! 😢 ❤
We were actually in the US on holiday, in Florida. I vividly remember the shock around the hotel, they put a tribute up straight away. So very sad for all those who lost their lives. Thanks for going there Scott xx
Hey Scott. I was at home when I heard. I never watched basketball or really knew anything about the Lakers but I knew who Kobe was. And maybe it’s my age, or the fact I’m also a parent, but for some reason it hit me hard when he passed. It was so tragic and even I could feel the loss his death had on our world. But I do try to think of everyone else who passed too. They all have loved ones who were greatly impacted by their loss as well. I hope they are all at peace. Very respectful video. Thank you.
I always thought Kobe had one of the best smiles ever. Just a smile that said he enjoyed life… with ornery thrown in. One of a kind 🏀Rip
God bless you for doing this for all the victims.RIP to all that died that day.
What a beautiful tribute ❤️ Thank you for remembering all the victims and their families. If they do put up another monument, I hope it's for all who lost their lives.
G’day Scott, a wonderful tribute and tastefully made with respect. Thanks for sharing and well done. 👍
Well done Scott! Very respectful and heartfelt. Prayers for all the families of those who perished ❤️
God bless all 9 and there families, all 9 were super rich and lived a very privileged life,
Thank you Scott. I don't think anyone else has gone this.🙏👍
I had just gotten out of church. My husband picked me up that Sunday, and when I opened my passenger door to get in, he looked at me with a blank look on his face (the kind of look you don't ever want to see) and said "Kobe is dead! He died this morning in a helicopter crash". I gasped and covered my mouth in disbelief. After I got into the car and pulled out my phone to confirm what I had just heard .. my emotions began to take over. I am a huge Laker fan and I have always loved Kobe. I just couldn't believe it. May they all RIP. Beautiful tribute Scott 😭💔
You always do such a beautiful job. Thank you for being so respectful and caring for every video you do. You are a class act. Thank you with love and much respect.✌️🙏
On my b-day, won't forget when I and my visitors got the news😔 I want to visit all these places when coming to the USA and as a huge Nirvana fan Seattle also.
A wonderful and moving tribute to the people who died. My thoughts are with the families of the nine victims.
Very respectfully done Scott. Thank you for sharing this and paying tribute to the precious lives lost that day. I live in Florida and I was at the Magic Kingdom when the breaking news alert popped up on my phone screen. Total shock. Yes, I also remember well where I was when we lost Princess Di, Michael Jackson (this Saturday is the 13th anniversary of his death which I will never forget because it happened on our oldest son’s 9th birthday). For me personally…the biggest celebrity loss of my life was Prince.💜 I still cry over that one.🥺
I was so shocked when this happened on my birthday two years ago. Excellent, respectful coverage of this Scott. Thank you. ❣️
Thank you Scott you were so respectful, to the family
I love and admire your respect for those who have gone before us. You always show that respect in your videos, but none so much as here. The reward for respect is longevity. Long may you continue these videos and find success in your avenue of truth and kindness. That being said, look forward to your next entry. Take care, my friend.
Beautifully and respectfully done Scott. Such a tragic loss. If it had to be it’s comforting to know that Kobe and Gianna were together in those final moments. Thank you so much for taking us there. May all the victims Rest In Peace.
Scott, your brave going all the way up there.You honoured all 9 victims beautifully and the music went well with the story. Very moving.xx
Thank You Very Scott, For Taking Us To The Crash Site. That Was A Very Sad Day, January 26, 2020. I Was Here, In Pekin, Illinois When There Was The News Break, About Kobe, Gi Gi, And The Other 7 People, Who Perished In That Helicopter. I Was Absolutely Stunned And Heartbroken, For All 9 Lives That Were Lost. May All 9 People in That Helicopter, Forever Rest In Peace. 💕🕊️🌈 Amen 💫 From Pekin, Illinois 🇺🇸 August 2, 2022
This still makes my heart hurts, Kobe felt like family to most of us from L.A/Southern California.
Thanks Scott. Just seeing it and it gave me goosebumps. RIP all that died that day.
Actually I was preparing Sunday dinner when I heard the news. I guess it was around 10/10:30. I went numb after that. I never really rooted for Kobe, but for me being an athlete in the past, I’ve ALWAYS loved his competitive spirit and vigor for the game and his preparedness and always wanting to get better and be the best that he could be. God bless his beautiful daughter and the 7 others that perished.
Princess Diana's death is the one that got me the most. Being nearly the same age, and at the time of her engagement, she gave hope to those of us girls who were slightly pudgy, more cute than beautiful. Then to watch her bloom and blossom despite her life in the background. I stayed up all night watching the news..when the news broke as a crawl on the bottom of the screen as I watched Saturday Night Live. It was a night I will never, ever forget.
Just found your channel about a week ago Scott and I love what I’m seeing, just watched this Kobe one now, much love from the UK 👍
Thank you Freddie!
Well done Scott …. Respectful and touching 💔. Thnak you. I remember the minute it was on tmz first and many didn’t want to believe it so soon after it was on national news. I’m happy you included all the other passengers. To me, that meant a lot! Ty
I always appreciate how respectful you are when you visit these places, Scott. Keep up the excellent work, I always look forward to your videos.🤍
Fantastic tribute Scott mate, thanks for taking us with you on this journey, very respectful as always. I was scrolling through Facebook at the time and it appeared on there about the crash and I remember just being glued to the news streams after in disbelief. R.I.P to all 9 victims.
I Was Sittin At Home & My Sister Texted Me About It. It Left Me Speechless For A Minute. I Told Her It Wasn't True, But Devastatingly It Was True. I Glued Myself To The TV. My Brother Is A Huge Fan Of Bryant's & He Couldn't Believe It Either. I Texted & Broke The News To Him. (Which He Already Knew) But That Whole Week Was Just Speechless & To Hear That His Precious Daughter Was With Him... I Cried & Cried. What A Wonderful Tribute To All That Passed Away Devastatingly. You Were Extraordinary Respectful To His Family... This Was Very Moving To Me!! - Watching From NC
Definitely a phenomenal Basketball Player...Always loved watching him play, especially since his game was similar to MJ's. Legends are never forgotten...RIP GG AND MAMBA🌹
Bless your heart, Scott. I did worry about you on this hike. Glad you made it back ok. And this vlog is awesome!! Thank you ❤
Very well done Scott 🙏 I was with my girlfriend at the time eating at a restaurant in West LA when she saw the news on her phone and told me. Very sad day, and all those beautiful souls are missed dearly 🙏 Steve in Santa Monica
I was getting my daily coffee from my spot. My girlfriend looked at me with watery eyes and said “bro Kobe died?” And I have a little cousin named Kobe so I thought she was talking about him so I got on my phone so fast and Kobe Bryant’s face was everywhere. May all 9 of these beautiful people forever Rest In Peace. I was a huge Kobe fan. Thank you for doing this.
This was heartbreaking,,,, but your video was so respectful, what a tragedy for all 9 victims and their families,,
Such a tragedy. An immense loss of life and hope and talent. My heart breaks for the families of all lost that day. I’d imagine it was terrifying for them in their last moments. Not only did we lose such talented adults, but to lose the children as well……sometimes just don’t understand why things happen. 💜💛🖤
Scott, the impact site is actually further up that trail, the "make shift" memorial was put on the wrong location and just keep getting added to. If you would have walked another 25-40 feet you would see the actual I impact spot of where the blade hit the ground you can actually make the hole thing out when you see it. Great video as always though. I was there a year ago and saw it with an helicopet pilot from LA. The visibility was bad and thats why he lost control. Good job keep doing what you do!
When you said “further up” do you mean looking up the hill or continuing to walk around the corner as in past where the memorial is? Thank you.
You are the best! Feel like I’ve known you all my life. A friend texted me while I was taking the stage to sing on a Sunday afternoon at a dive bar. Never forget it.
Rest in peace to all who perished. Safe travels, Scott.
Amazing video. R.I.P. Kobe and those that passed. I still can’t believe he’s gone.
It’s one of those days you will never forget. Was driving home when my son’s phone got the notification from ESPN. The rest of the day was listening to stories about all of them. Just in disbelief. May they all RIP.
My Girlfriend and I were at my Best Friends House, who is the biggest Lakers and Kobe Fan, and He was watching Sports Center when the breaking news story hit the screen. shocked beyond belief. we just starred in disbelief. My Friend began crying and like you said, the rest of the day was very off. It was a very dark day.
RIP Black Mamba RIP GG
This was so beautiful. Made me cry
January 26th is my birthday - I woke up to check for birthday messages and I saw the news. I spent the whole day glued to social media and the news. My birthday has never been the same since - I always think of this tragic event on that day now 😢
I want to thank you Scott for doing this for us! Quite a hike. Thank you for adding all the others that also passed
I read their autopsy reports and I hope they went as quick as possible. Christine was in the worst shape. RIP to them all… Great work Scott…
RIP to all those that lost there life that sad day!! So tragic!!! Love all your videos Scott!! You are very sweet and respectful!! Love you and your videos!! Stay safe my friend !! Much love!! ❤️❤️💙💙🥰🥰🙏🙏🌺🌺💖💖✌️✌️😢😢😢
Very heartbreaking and tragic!! My then 17 year old daughter and I were on our way home after watching a movie at a theater in Chesapeake, VA when we heard the breaking news over the radio. I brought to tears by the thought of him passing away along with his daughter.
That day I woke up close to the time the accident happened. I remember waking up like if I was late to work. I got up and went outside. Then my mom told me that my brother had herd about the crash. And I went on Twitter to confirm. I cried so much right after. I named my daughter Gianna before the tragic. Kobe is culture for LA. We love him and remember till this day, wish you were alive.
I was at my grandparents and saw it on the news and I just broke down hige part of my childhood teenage years still cant believe hes really gone
Scott, you are such a special guy, you have such a caring heart
Rest in peace to Kobe Bryant and Gigi and to all the rest of the people who lost their life
Like many have said, a wonderful and respectful tribute. You are a class-act my friend. I hope to some day meet you and buy you a beer. Hear a few stories.
Excellent vid Scott, you really did well with this one to get all the way up there. That is indeed a hike and the fact you did it on a summer day wearing a black T-shirt man, mad respect to you. Mad respect also for Kobe and the others who passed away in that accident. It was truly shocking.
I'd love to see you do a revisit of the Woodstock concert field in Bethel, NY if you're over that side of the country again at any stage. I know you posted a vid of that some years back when you were there but I'd love to see a new vid of it.
Really appreciate the efforts you put in Scott. Thank you
Scott, you are always so respectful. This is beautifully done. Ty for the fine work you do.
Thank you Megan !
It's so shocking to me. He will always be missed. Thank you kobe for everything you done to the NBA.
I was asleep when he passed away… it felt like a nightmare & I was & still am saddened about his passing tho including his daughter & the other people who were on board of the helicopter, great video Scott, I love your videos, keep up the great work!
I was at work and we had breaking news even in Holland. Repect for you Scott to walk all the way up. I get goosebumps when you showed it. 💞🙏
RIP Kobe Bryant and daughter 🙏
And all of the other People 🙏
