Vanessa Bryant Sues Helicopter Company Over Crash That Killed Kobe

Vanessa Bryant, the widow of the late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, has filed a lawsuit against the company that owns the helicopter that went down in Calabasas last month, killing her husband, her daughter Gianna, and seven other people.
The wrongful death suit names pilot Ara Zobayan, who was among those killed, claiming that he was negligent for failing to abort the flight when conditions became too cloudy, the Associated Press reports.
The suit comes on the same day as a public memorial at Staples Center, where Kobe played before retiring.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
