 Former Los Angeles Laker and five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant died Sunday in a helicopter crash in the Los Angeles area. Four other people were also killed.
A call for a downed helicopter in Calabasas went out at 10:01 a.m. local time, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. People who were out mountain biking in the area reported the accident.

 David Shapiro, a Former mayor of Calabasas and currently a city councilman, confirmed to NBC News that Bryant was on the helicopter.
"Unfortunately there were no survivors," Los Angeles County Fire Captain Tony Imbrenda told reporters Sunday.

On Saturday night, Bryant tweeted his congratulations to LeBron James after he surpassed Bryant on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Bryant told GQ in 2010 that he would take a private helicopter from his Orange County home to every home game he played at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.

County officials said firefighters were able to extinguish the flames and are working to preserve evidence for investigators.

 NBA athletes, officials and fans mourned the loss of Bryant, who was considered one of basketball’s greatest players of all time.

 “May your memory be a blessing,” Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted.

 Retired forward Paul Pierce expressed his disbelief on Twitter, saying, “This is not real right now.”
