Sources: Kobe Bryant was on his way to a travel basketball game with his daughter Gianna when the helicopter crashed. Those aboard the helicopter also included another player and parent.

Woj reporting that one of the other victims was also a player.

I’m at a loss. It’s beyond words when I saw it.
Man. It’s relatively safe in the air. But if anything on a helicopter fails or there are any mistakes by the driver whatsoever, it’s over. RIP

There was a report it was Rick Fox but it's been confirmed he was not on board.

Three men died the other day when thier C-130 crashed while fighting fires in Australia. Today, two young girls and thier fathers died in a helicopter crash while travelling to a basketball practice. The common thread is they were doing something they loved and trying to make a difference in people's lives. That should give peace to all that are grieving today. I tell my wife and daughter to think of these things should anything happen when we fly our missions. Do what you love. Make a difference in this world. Don't let anything or anybody hold you back. Because you just never know.
Wind patterns are hard to predict. I’m not traveling by air anymore. I’ll take the Amtrak on drive on America’s Interstate system.
R.I.P. Kobe. A sad day in history
I remember hating Kobe when he played. He always used to destroy us on the court. But that hatred eventually turned into respect. The guy was the best at what he did and strived for excellence at all cost. The respect was so real, and it's terrible to hear this news. Complete loss of words.
RIP Kobe and Gianna.
I could not believe it at first. Then I thought maybe there was someone in the crash whose name was Kobe Bryant.
Multiple sources familiar with piloting a helicopter said before the crash, the copter was moving at such a slow speed that instrumentation could not be used. Speed wise the last few witnesses said the thing was basically in a drifting hover and it seemed like the pilot was disoriented because of the low clouds/fog in the area.
First, this is simply tragic.
Second, why not just get some elevation if you know there are hills in the area? Just seems odd.
