John and Keri Altobelli and their daughter Alyssa, Sarah Chester and her daughter Payton, and Christina Mauser were also on the bus. They were all going to the Mamba Sports Academy. The bad weather made it hard for the pilot to steer the helicopter, which is what caused it to crash at Calabasas.
The pilot, Ara Zobayan, told the air traffic controller that he was going to try to fly high because it was hard for planes to fly low over mountains. The helicopter, on the other hand, had trouble getting to 1,500 feet above the ground and crashed soon after.
According to the autopsy, Bryant died from injuries he got when the chopper hit the ground. The passengers didn’t make it out of the tragic crash because the helicopter went on fire.
The legendary LA Lakers player was said to have had “multiple trauma injuries to the head, chest, and abdomen.” On top of that, Bryant was said to have “evisceration of the brain” and “internal organs.”
Bryant had surface burns on 30% of his body, including his head, chest, and stomach.

His balance, how he handled the ball, and his shot all made me think of how great Bryant used to be on the court. Some fans began to cheer for him, and chants of “Kobe” filled the venue. The 18-time All-Star would do something like make a clutch basket against New Zealand that sent the game into overtime.
He talked about how he felt after the game and about how the fans had made him feel:
“It felt great. I told this to a few people: When I was growing up, a lot of the older people in my neighborhood played against Kobe in high school and a lot of them were friends with him, knew him and they told me just how his work ethic was as a kid, 11, 12 years or whatever, he always had a basketball.”
