Two years ago today, Lakers star Kobe Bryant along with nine other people—including his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna—died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
During the time of his death, Bryant was traveling to his youth sports academy for a basketball game. As fans and former players have shared messages and various murals have been created to remember the 18-time NBA All-Star, a sculpture of Bryant and Gianna was temporarily erected at the Calabasas crash site.
Los Angeles Times reporter Richard Winton reported that sculptor Dan Medina pulled the 150-pound statue up a steep hill to reach the site.
