Default TMZ reporting Kobe Bryant died in helicopter crash...

Got an alert earlier on my Citizen app that a helicopter crashed in Calabasas (it’s about 12 miles from me) at about 10:00 AM.

Now I just got a news alert that Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash. Can’t get the article to pull up, though.

Five killed in helicopter crash in Calabasas, California

By Artemis Moshtaghian, CNN

Updated 2:50 PM ET, Sun January 26, 2020

Authorities respond to the scene of a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.

(CNN) — Five people were killed Sunday in a helicopter crash on a hillside in Calabasas, California, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

The sheriff's department received reports of the downed aircraft just after 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m PT), officials said in a tweet.

A helicopter crashed on a hillside in Calabasas, California.

Flames have been extinguished, the department said.

Calabasas is about 30 miles west of Los Angeles.
I was watching some of the videos on the citizen app as it was happening because they were saying it sparked a small brush fire, which can become a big fire quickly here.

Don’t forget all the women he has been accused of raping and the times he has been accused of infidelity by his wife.
