26 января при крушении частного вертолета погиб американский баскетболист и пятикратный чемпион НБА Коби Брайант. Ему был 41 год. На борту находилось девять человек, включая 13-летнюю дочь баскетболиста Джианну. Никто не выжил. Брайант был одним из самых известных спортсменов современности. Он закончил спортивную карьеру только в 2016 году, чтобы сосредоточиться на жизни вне баскетбола. Со спортсменом прощаются Тим Кук, Хью Джекман, Канье Уэст и многие другие.

Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.

Kobe Bryant, despite being one of the truly great basketball players of all time, was just getting started in life. He loved his family so much, and had such strong passion for the future. The loss of his beautiful daughter, Gianna, makes this moment even more devastating....

When I first came to America ... it was Kobe, Shaq and the Lakers that made me fall in love with basketball. Kobe’s amazing talent, professionalism and love of the game was palpable. I’m so deeply saddened by this tragedy and send my love and prayers to all the families.

Kobe was so much more than an athlete, he was a family man. That was what we had most in common. I would hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his. His baby girl Gigi was born on the same day as my youngest daughter Me’Arah. pic.twitter.com/BHBPN5Wq8V
