Kobe Bryant and daughter died in the helicopter crash

LAGOS JANUARY 27TH (NEWSRANGERS)-President Donald Trump was among those who took to Twitter on Sunday after the sudden death of Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash early on Sunday morning outside of Los Angeles. He was 41.

Trump called the crash “terrible news” on Twitter. He then shared a lengthier tribute to Bryant on Instagram later on Sunday night.

Trump wasn’t the only politician to take to social media in the wake of Bryant’s death. Several other notable figures, including former President Barack Obama, presidential candidate Andrew Yang and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined him.

“Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day,” Barack Obama twitted.
