According to US reports, NBA legend Kobe Bryant has been killed in a helicopter crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 41-year-old\u2019s private helicopter crashed 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles, California at around 10am on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has recently been confirmed that 9 passengers were on board, rather than the original count of 5, and there were no survivors. The basketball star\u2019s daughter was also on board, she was just 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The helicopter crashed due to thick fog in the area. The pilot was flying blind, as the star\u2019s private helicopter had not been fitted with ground sensing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gavin Masak, who lives nearby, told CBS News of the moment the helicopter crashed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It wasn’t exactly like an explosion sound but it was like a loud boom. It sounded like a helicopter, but it sounded like a jet, like it was loud, so I went inside and told my dad what was happening. So when I came out I saw smoke on the hill but it wasn’t like a big, black cloud of smoke, it was just grey,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other eyewitnesses told celebrity news site TMZ they heard the helicopter’s engine sputtering before it went down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roads in the area have been closed to stop people trying to get to the crash site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five-time NBA champion Bryant spent his entire 20-year career at the LA Lakers, retiring in April 2016. He was one of the all-time legends of the game, a two time NBA finals MVP and double Olympic champion; he was the 2008 MVP. He even won an Oscar in 2018 for his short film: \u2018Dear Basketball\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
