Kobe Bryant’s daughter, Gianna Marie, “Gigi,” was also on the helicopter, and has died, too, according to TMZ

Having already been one of the most-tragic stories, in recent memory, the death of Kobe Bryant comes with a lot of speculation. One rumor, on social media, said that Kobe’s daughters were on the plane. That news was shocking, but thankfully it wasn’t true.

Further speculation said Rick Fox was also on the plane, but a source spoke directly to Fix. Kobe’s former Lakers’ teammate said that he wasn’t on the plane. The journalist who spoke to him confirmed Fox was still alive.

Unfortunately, Kobe Bryant did have one of his daughters on the helicopter with him. During his recent interview with Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, Kobe spoke on his daughter, Gianna Marie aka Gigi, now playing basketball, saying was coaching her team. Now, according to TMZ, she was on the plane, and has died, too, at the age of thirteen.
