Two years after the tragic helicopter crash that killed basketball player Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, a statue has been erected in his honour in Calabasas, California, the site of the event.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The statue created by sculptor Dan Medina<\/a><\/strong> is a depiction of Kobe Bryant in a Lakers uniform with his daughter Gigi, who is also wearing team apparel and carrying a basketball. “Heroes come and go, but legends are forever”<\/strong><\/em> is the quote inscribed on the sculpture with the names of the nine victims who lost their lives in the 26 January 2020 crash.<\/p>\n

“You come here and it’s a bit emotional. The flowers, the T-shirts, the hats disappear and I think we need something more permanent,”<\/strong><\/em> the sculptor said of the memorial. Medina’s plans for the statue are for it to be temporary. However, the sculptor hopes that the life-size version can find a permanent place in downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
