Los Angeles County has agreed to pay the widow of Kobe Bryant nearly USD29 million (approx Rs 239 cr) after first responders shared gruesome photos of the helicopter crash that killed the NBA superstar.


Bryant, the couple’s teenage daughter Gianna, and seven others died when their chopper smashed into a hillside near Los Angles in January 2020. 


Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters who rushed to the scene snapped pictures of the carnage, including the mangled remains of the Los Angeles Lakers legend and his daughter.
