Kobe Bryant Tragedy

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California over the weekend. The crash also took the lives of Bryant's 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and 7 others, including the pilot. 

Authorities from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the helicopter went down in an "area with very rough terrain" making the recovery very difficult.

The retired Laker star was considered one of the best players in NBA history and social media was full of tributes from teammates, celebrities, and fans of the 41-year-old superstar who died far too young.
