Doesn't that seem unlikely? His wife wasn't, and the youngest is only 7 months old.


It also makes no sense because it has been reported that 5 were on board and all perished.
Who was piloting the copter?

So far according to TMZ, it was just his second oldest (13 year old) on board. That makes sense if they were going to the Academy as she was the basketball player. His oldest daughter is 17 and a volleyball player

He owned his own helicopter and used it to commute regularly. When he was playing for the Lakers, he always went to home gays by helicopter.

12:35 PM PT -- Kobe's daughter Gianna Maria Onore -- aka GiGi -- was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13.
We're told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks. https://www.tmz.com/


Truly awful. Such a tragedy for his wife and kids.
