About Kobe Bryant’s death

Last month, the retired basketball player Kobe, 41 was traveling in his private helicopter over Calabasas. His daughter Gianna, 13 was also with him. A fire broke out in the Sikorsky S-76 Chopper at around 10 am and it came spiraling down the sky. It was a foggy morning as per the reports.

Reports state that nine people died in this crash which had no survivors. And now, Vanessa filed a wrongful death suit against the company Island Express Helicopters which operated the helicopter that killed her husband and little daughter.

The case is in the Los Angeles County Superior Court and alleges that the pilot of the doomed aircraft Ara Zobayan did not use the proper piloting to prevent and save the helicopter. The lawsuit states:

“Defendant Island Express Helicopters’ breach of its duty and negligence caused the injuries and damages complained of herein and Plaintiffs’ deceased, Kobe Bryant, was killed as a direct result of the negligent conduct of Zobayan for which Defendant Island Express Helicopters is vicariously liable in all respects,”
