Check Out LA Times’ Front Page, Special Section Remembering Kobe Bryant

Los Angeles, and the entire sports world, quite frankly, lost an icon Sunday morning.

Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were among the nine people killed in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, Calif. We’ve since learned the aircraft, which typically is used for “VIP” and “corporate” transportation, was attempting to make a climb before the fatal crash.

There’s been an outpouring of tweets, Instagram posts, etc. honoring and remembering Bryant since the news broke. The Los Angeles Times followed suit Monday via its front page and special section.
