Kobe and Gianna Bryant passed away in the fatal helicopter crash five years ago today … but, their legacy lives on — through tributes and new projects they’ve inspired.

As you know … on January 26, 2020, Kobe and Gigi — along with 6 other passengers and the pilot — were killed after their helicopter crashed on their way to Thousand Oaks for basketball practice.

According to a later investigation … the pilot of the craft was at fault for the crash — with investigators saying he flew into the clouds, became disoriented and ultimately crashed.

Their deaths — and pictures taken at the crash site — led to a series of lawsuits filed by Vanessa Bryant … winning nearly $30 millionfrom L.A. County in early 2023.

An outpouring of love and support for Kobe and Gigi followed the crash … including a statue of the two being put up at the crash site — in the aftermath of their deaths and a huge star-studded memorial was held at Crypto.com arena.
