Kobe and Gianna Bryant statue placed at crash site on 2-year anniversary of their deaths

Share

A bronze statue of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna was placed Wednesday in Calabasas, California, where the Bryants and seven others were killed.

Wednesday marked two years since the helicopter crash, which was as having been caused by pilot disorientation due to foggy conditions.

The statue, created by sculptor Dan Medina, shows Kobe Bryant in his Lakers uniform with his arm around Gianna, who is also wearing a basketball uniform with a basketball in her hand.

The base of the statue has the names of all nine crash victims inscribed on a plaque.

Medina told the statue would remain at the site temporarily. CNN has reached out to Medina for additional comment.

A lawsuit related to the crash is soon as lawyers for Vanessa Bryant -- Kobe's wife and Gianna's mother -- allege photos of the area following the crash, including images of those who died, were shared widely amongst police and fire employees. The trial is to begin on February 22.
