Kobe Bryant was 41, and his daughter Gianna, 13.
Kobe Bryant was an all-star player for the Los Angeles Lakers, who was considered one of the best players of all time. He was widely admired both in the United States and around the world. He also engaged in philanthropy, providing scholarships to young people aspiring to play professional basketball.
Also notable was that Kobe Bryant was a lifelong Catholic whose faith had a major influence on his adult life. Bryant credited his Catholic faith for turning his life around and rescuing his marriage.
On the morning of his death, Kobe and his daughter Gianna attended Mass immediately prior to boarding their ill-fated flight.
Kobe and Gianna Bryant died along with seven other people, including the pilot of a chartered helicopter. The group was flying to a basketball event for Gianna and other young players.

A public memorial is scheduled for Kobe Bryant on February 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where the Lakers play their home games.
