Pictured: All nine victims of helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna as tributes are paid to two teenage girls, a basketball coach and the aircraft’s pilot.

Tributes have poured in for the seven other victims killed alongside Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna in Sunday’s tragic helicopter crash in California.
Among those killed were sports coaches, parents and teenage peers of Bryant’s basketball star daughter – the group are understood to have been travelling to Bryant’s Mamba Academy for a practice session when the helicopter crashed in Calabasas.

John Altobelli, a baseball coach at Orange Coast College, his wife Keri and their teen daughter Alyssa were killed; and a girls’ basketball coach at Bryant’s academy Christina Mauser.

Sarah Chester and her teen daughter Payton were also killed when the Sikorsky S-76 flew into the hillside and burst into flames.


Pilot Ara Zobayan was also killed. The cause of the crash is under investigation but the control tower at Burbank Airport was contacted by the pilot shortly before 10am local time.

At around 9.40am the helicopter turned south, towards a mountainous area, flight tracker data shows. Five minutes later it hit the hillside at 1700 feet, near the home of Kourtney Kardashian.

Jared Yochim, a friend of the pilot, penned a heartfelt tribute on Facebook, writing: ‘The pilot flying Kobe and crew today was my friend Ara Zobayan (white shirt and tie). Many of my friends were actually friends with Ara and not just pilots.

Everything in this life is vanity !!!!

Death doesn't know the rich or poor

I've never felt this sad in my life....

Farewell Legend and the other deceased...

A whole family was also lost in the crash but only Kobe Bryant and his daughter took centre stage. What a tragedy!

a whole family died but we only heard of kobe bryant. When a nigerian youth team player died recently i didnt hear much of it even here on nl. Bt people that dont even know if kobe bryant is a musician or lil waynes bouncer are typing rip and sending condolences. hustle o so that if u die a group death ur name will be the heading. E.g if ur name is emeka hassan bayo. The natiönal dailies will say emeka the business tycoon and 15 other's died in an autocrash.
The moment jönes,maguire and lingard scored i knew something bad will happen. Rip kobe bryant. I miss ur songs especially the one with psquare.
