a sad story has anything come to light yet about the cause of the helicopter crash . no unfortunately there is there is no cause some of that federal investigators are still on the scene and it really what i'm hearing is it will take weeks before they can really pinpoint an official cause as to why that helicopter went down in the city of calabasas they are looking at whether or not dense fog that was in the area at the time may have contributed to the to the crash but right now they just they just don't know because it's just too early to tale. let's talk about this absolutely enormous outpouring of grief around the world and on twitter i mean they've been condolences from president donald trump former president barack obama he's called it heartbreaking and unthinkable and n.b.a. legend secure neil says there are no words to express he's pine people are just devastated what's been the wider reaction in the us today is still shock you know

i got the alert on my phone and when i 1st saw it i said. this is i you know nobody it's odd that they would make a mistake like that i just did not want to believe it i took me to go through to other outlets to really confirm that it was him and you know 7 hours later i am still in shock and many other people here in america are just still in shock they can't believe 41 year old kobe bryant really that hero is gone that quickly and not only that but his 13 year old daughter died in the crash as well so people are just very shocked and right now in downtown los angeles at the staples center where the lakers the los angeles lakers play which is the team that he belonged to for 20 years there's a massive amount of people outside the staples center right now with a makeshift memorial just talking about colby and making signs and putting candles out and this is happening at the same time that the grammy music awards are going

on because they're happening also at the staples center so there is so much going on and so much of an outpouring around the u.s. everybody is really still in shock and trying to come to terms with it but also pouring for his widow and her remaining 3 daughters. kobe bryant was just the superstar of the n.b.a. told to us through some of his achievements and he's impact on the guy i'm. well you know what i even get to that one of the most interesting things about colby outside of all of his achievements is he was one of the few in the 8 players that actually has an oscar award and many people don't know that he got an oscar award a few years ago for a documentary that he did on basketball and very few people talk about that but that's something outside of that you know he had awards for playing in the olympics he was in in the many times over his in his list of awards are many he's at

a time you just quote you is at a time in the all-star he's a 4 time in the all-star game in the peak 11 time all in be a 1st team all star so cold these lists of awards and accolades can go on and on and on on the court but he was really also a humanitarian as well and just a good father a great husband and really care about his community his family and things that went on outside the court. t.j. he he was this legend but he did have a somewhat complicated legacy he won an oscar though in somewhat controversial circumstances because he was accused of rape in the early 2000 which i guess we should mention that as well. yes yes yes that happened back in the early 2003 i believe he was accused of rape by a young woman at a hotel owners and colorado and he was charge those charges were dropped some time

later and he ended up having a civil suit filed against him by the young lady and that was settled but it took a while you know i will say afterwards he wasn't super friendly with the media after that but years mean many years later i'm thinking more women decades when he won the oscar award but he did have a short period of time where people were looking at him a different way and we're wanting to find out what happened in he had to come on television and make a statement and apologize to his wife and said that he had committed adultery so there was that blemish for a short period of time in the early 2000 you are correct price and he spent a lot of those years afterwards trying to rehabilitate himself and his image and now very sadly he has a pasta way entertainment correspondent k.j. matthews in los angeles thank you very much. thank you time to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world this hour in brazil at least 44 people have died from terentia storms that of course floods and landslides
