Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and seven other people, including the pilot, were killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday, January 26, 2020 in Calabasas, California. The cause of the accident is most likely pilot error due to the foggy weather. Reports say they were traveling to a girl’s basketball game in Thousand Oaks when the helicopter crashed.

The helicopter crash site in Calabasas, California:
The Los Angeles Sheriffs Department has been using ATVs and horse mounted officers to protect the site from trophy seekers. The bodies were collected and delivered to the families. The wreckage was mapped by NTSB drones and investigators on the ground, then collected and transported to a yard in Arizona for forensic examination.
