Kobe and Gianna — nicknamed Gigi — died in a brutal helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, on January 26, along with seven others. Kobe was 41 and Gigi was 13. They were on their way to Kobe’s sports academy for a game when the helicopter pilot encountered bad weather and collided with a mountain. Everyone on board, including the pilot, died from blunt trauma.
After their deaths, Kobe’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, announced that Kobe’s sports foundation changed its name to honor him and Gigi. It is now called the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation.
