Kobe Bryant has been described as an “assassin on the court,” but as soon as he saw his daughters “the cape came off” and he was seen as a loving father. The pilot was also believed to be under self-induced pressure to continue the flight to please his celebrity client. The NTSB concluded that the pilot was flying fast- approximate speed was 160 miles per hour- and lost control of the helicopter after losing visual contact with the ground. The report said the pilot made an unfortunate decision to continue flying in adverse weather conditions into an area where visibility was dismal. It is believed that pilot Ara Zobayan became disoriented after flying into low clouds and flew the helicopter into hilly terrain while trying to gain altitude. The board declared that the primary reason the Sikorsky S-76B plummeted to the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains was pilot error. Later in the year, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its findings on what caused the crash. He had used the helicopter for years, and this particular machine was actually the same one that brought him to his last game with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2016.
Bryant was on his way to a youth basketball game with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna when the fatal accident occurred. News broke out on 26 January 2020 that the basketball legend had died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California along with eight other people on board.
