Kobe Bryant Crash Investigation Closes, Helicopter Pilot Likely Had ‘Spatial Disorientation’

The investigation into the helicopter crash that killed nine people, including Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, has been closed. After a year-long investigation, The National Transportation Safety Board released a full report, and stated there was no evidence of internal engine failure. According to the NTSB report, they concluded the pilot, Ara Zobayan, most likely developed ‘spatial disorientation’ after flying into the clouds. This devastating account arrives just one day after it was announced Kobe’s 18-year-old daughter Natalia signed with IMG Models. Her proud mom, Vanessa, shared the news to her Instagram account, writing, ‘I’m so happy for you! I love you Nani!’
