NBA Legend Kobe Bryant was reported dead this morning from a helicopter plane crash near Calabasas in Los Angeles.

Unfortunately, TMZ has just reported that his 13-year-old daughter Gianna was aboard and was also killed, along with three others.

Gianna is the middle child of Kobe and Vanessa and was following in her father’s footsteps as a rising basketball star herself.

She played basketball for the Los Angeles Lady Mamba girls basketball team, but her dream was to play on the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team someday.
