Fans gather to mourn the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant at a mural near Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday. "Reports are that basketball great Kobe Bryant and three others have been killed in a helicopter crash in California. Hundreds, many wearing purple and gold Lakers shirts, gathered around a makeshift memorial to place flowers and candles for their hero. And we're literally standing here heartbroken in the house that Kobe Bryant built." In New York, Madison Square Garden was lit up in purple and gold alongside a giant image of Bryant captioned: "Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020."
