We all have people in our lives that we look up to as idols. The artists, actors, athletes, and public figures that inspire us and even shape us have such pivotal roles in our development as human beings. Even if you just greatly appreciated the music, art, or performances of certain figures, it is heartbreaking when they pass. This grief is made even worse when an icon is taken from us too soon. Let us now honor and celebrate some of the most shocking and mournful celebrity deaths.
The Celebrities That Left Us Tragically Early
Kobe Bryant
The “Black Mamba”, better known as Kobe Brant, is a basketball legend that enjoyed twenty sensational seasons during his time with the Los Angeles Lakers. He played shooting guard and achieved a five-time NBA championship win. He was awarded that all-star award 18 times. Sadly, his life and that of Gianna, his daughter, would be taken during a catastrophic helicopter crash while they were traveling to a basketball match. He will always be remembered as a leading figure in the sport.
