Less than two weeks ago, tragedy struck the Los Angeles community when a helicopter crashed into a Calabasas hillside. No one wanted to believe early reports that speculated NBA legend Kobe Bryant died in the crash. Unfortunately, their worst fears came true. At 41 years old, Kobe Bryant\u2019s life was cut short on January 26th. But he wasn\u2019t alone. In addition to Kobe, eight other people lost their lives<\/a><\/span> in last month\u2019s helicopter crash. The other victims of the crash include Kobe\u2019s daughter Gianna, her teammates Payton Chester and Alyssa Altobelli, their coach Christina Mauser, Payton\u2019s mother Sarah Chester, Alyssa\u2019s parents John and Keri Altobelli, and pilot Ara Zobayan. Every passenger on that helicopter lost their lives far, far too soon and we\u2019re terribly sad to see them go.<\/span><\/p>\n
