Kobe’s daughter Gianna Maria — aka GiGi — was also on board the helicopter and died in the crash ... reps for Kobe tell TMZ Sports. She was 13.
We’re told they were on their way to the Mamba Academy for a basketball practice when the crash occurred. The Academy is in nearby Thousand Oaks.
That makes sense..Thousand Oaks is VERY close to Calabasas, my cousin lives in Simi Valley, same general area
