One of the last things Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna did before they died in a fatal helicopter crash on Sunday was attend church.
Father Steve Sallot with Our Lady Queen of Angels church in Newport Beach, Orange County, spoke to a local media outlet about the father and daughter attending mass.
"He was here before the 7 a.m. mass and that's our first mass of the day," Father Sallot told KABC in an on-camera interview. "So he would obviously have been in the prayer chapel before that and he was leaving about 10 to 7." CBS News has reached out to Father Sallot and the church for more.
Father Sallot said Kobe and Gianna, known as Gigi, received communion before boarding that fatal flight. Seven other people were also killed when the helicopter went down in foggy conditions on the way to a youth basketball tournament.
Our Lady Queen of Angels parishioners prayed a rosary for the lives lost on Monday. All of those killed were beloved members of the Orange County community, CBS Los Angeles reports.

Scud running.....
“Sounds like pilot had an all to common disease
GetThereItis”
And associated with wealthy powerful customers with schedules to keep and they aren’t used to be told no. Very very hard to tell them “not this morning, or you need to drive today”. I’ve seen some pilots say no for weather. Most kept their jobs, two didn’t. But they lived. It takes a combo of a mature pilot with confidence, and a good relationship with that owner. That kind of owner knows he always defers to the pilot and mechanic on matters of flight safety.
Not as easy as it sounds.
Im going to have POP GOES the WEASLE
Hopefully he confessed his sins to God, because doing it any other way ain’t gonna get him through the gates.
Can you please translate that post into English? Your cut and paste job makes no sense.
Wow! THAT’S the way I’d want to go - right after Mass. Awesome!
Sure!
The previous poster said:
“He was a real nice guy. Sad to see him go.”
I posted two links showing that he was as nice of a guy as any Democrat currently holding office:
‘Kobe Bryant said he would kneel for national anthem if he were still playing’
Kobe Bryant Criticizes Donald Trump for Causing ‘Division and Anger’
(NOT too soon)
Kob was about half as nice as Gary Sinise:
Sinise refused to vote or show support for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election. After Trump questioned McCain’s status as a hero because he was captured as a prisoner of war, Sinise rebuked Trump.

Excellent question.
I understand (having asked elsewhere) that the answer is, “No, it’s not coming up.” It’s a different kind of media environment.
This is all Marxist protectionism.
Beats me. I don’t know anything about Mr. Bryant’s economics views, other than the obvious.
So what. Trump gave a lot of money to Democrats like Schumer and Clinton. Are you going to dance on his grave, too? Actually, I don’t believe Bryant has a grave yet. His remains are reportedly still entangled in the wreckage.
You’re comments say more about what is inside of you than whatever Bryant said 3 years ago about Trump.
“Your comments say more about what is inside of you than whatever Bryant said 3 years ago about Trump.”
NOPE, and obviously, I don’t give an obama what you think of me.
I didn’t dance on Ace McCain’s grave, but I also didn’t appreciate the intolerance here by his knee-jerk supporters, either.
Kneeling for the anthem is ok if you’re Kobe Bryant, apparently.
I don’t sport the same inconsistencies because of a kids’ game.
“I want my funeral to be a joyful celebration!”
Same here. I don’t want the church bells to ring out for a funeral but rather with joy, as if it were a wedding. Because I am going home.
There was a guy who had a recording of his voice made while he was still alive. They played it at his funeral. Screaming, LET ME OUT! Freaked every one out!
My mother’s second husband, they were elderly when they married, passed away last month. There were almost no people at his funeral. All of his friends had already died. George was 95.
