Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna were killed in the helicopter crash. Bryant (41) a retired, 18-time all-star for the National Basketball Association's Los Angeles Lakers, was killed along with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and all seven others aboard a helicopter that crashed in foggy weather north of Los Angeles on January 26 last year. His widow, Vanessa Bryant, sued Los Angeles County following media reports that first responders took pictures of the victims and showed them to other people in situations unrelated to the crash investigation. The suit was later amended to add the county fire department, accusing firefighters of similar acts. Vanessa Bryant has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the operator of the helicopter.
