JAKARTA - Monday, January 27, the world was shocked by the news of the death of one of the legendary basketball players, Kobe Bryant. Kobe died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, United States.

Reporting from USA Today, Kobe was one of the nine passengers on the helicopter. Apart from Kobe, his son, Gianna also experienced the same thing. Gianna and Kobe are on the helicopter for a trip from the AAU Basketball.

The news of the basketball legend with the five-time NBA winning title has received responses from various circles. The death of the legend who played for 20 years with the Los Angeles Lakers has become a world trending topic, with the hashtag #RIPMamba. Mamba was Kobe's nickname during his career in the NBA.

One of them is YouTuber Saaih Halilintar, who uploaded the story of Kobe's death on his Instagram account. He told about the crash of the helicopter in which Kobe Bryant was traveling.

"I was shocked that there was news of the helicopter crashing in the LA where I am staying now. And a few minutes later there was news that the LA hero and basketball athlete had died @ Kobebryant 13 minutes from where I am now." said Saaih.

Saaih's post received mixed responses from his followers who also expressed their condolences for the passing of Kobe Bryant. Some media even had time to make Saaih's Instagram post headlines.

But there is something strange about Saaih's Instagram post. These two pictures combined into one are too similar to the Instagram post @tmz_tv. The post of one of the popular gossip media uploaded the photo two hours earlier than Saaih.

The difference between the photo of Saaih and TMZ is only slight. TMZ uploads do not have an 'S' letter, while Saaih's upload has an 'S' in the image.

The VOI team tried to ask Saaih Halilintar for a response regarding the Instagram post he took from @tmz_tv. But until this news was published, there was no answer from Saaih. Until this news was written, Saaih also had not deleted his post.

Kobe Bryant is a basketball legend with five NBA titles. He has a career in basketball for 20 years with the Los Angeles Lakers.

In 2012, Bryant won a gold medal with USA Basketball. However, in 2016, he decided to retire from the world that raised his name

A number of public figures expressed their condolences including Bill Clinton, some of his basketball colleagues Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal.

The ongoing Grammy Awards ceremony opened with a performance by Lizzo dedicated to Bryant. After that, Alicia Keys and Boyz II Men performed a song for Kobe Bryant. Goodbye, Kobe Bryant and Gianna.
