All twitter references are pointing to the TMZ account right now.
If true, then he's dead at 41, with four little girls, the littlest born only 7 months ago. Tragic. Even for a guy I loathed and rooted against and who was far from a perfect person, I'd have wished far better for him. RIP.

The helicopter crash was all over twitter 50 minutes ago. Hopefully there wasnt a Princess Diana moment.
That's nothing more than rewriting TMZ w/o giving TMZ credit ... but have seen no contradictory reports
I was going to edit the title to reflect the unconfirmed nature of the report, but in light of the official report of a helicopter crash matching the details in the TMZ report, I think we’ll be getting official confirmation swiftly.
Edit: And as I was typing, a second source confirms the story.
I only asked because he initially had the link striked through, making it look like he got hoaxed. He did it by accident. It's very real.
Sheriff report says 5 people died in the crash. For the kids' sake, I hope his wife wasn't with him.
well, that's independent confirmation by a reputable local source enough for me.
RIP Kobe. May your passing take the instincts you gave to Jayson Tatum along with you.
Holy shit. Am at the Nike store and heard this from the guy helping me, manager put it over the staff earpieces.
Heartbreaking, horrible news for the Bryant family, Laker fans, and basketball fans all over the world.
I was never a Kobe fan, but this hurts. Kobe has been a big part of the basketball world for the last quarter century, and for him to be gone in an instant, is shocking.

It's horrible news for actual NBA players too. I imagine Tatum is crushed and quite a few others.
This hit me so hard I'm almost in tears. One of the absolute Sports titans of my generation, gone at 41. Tragic beyond words.
Reportedly, neither his wife nor his kids were in the heli. TMZ has reported on the wife.
Also, the heli that crashed was reportedly his.
Not yet picked up by ESPN. Just reported by CNN, without naming Kobe.
His wife wasn’t with him but let’s hope his kids weren’t, because no ones said anything about their whereabouts.
