China News Service, August 11th. According to a comprehensive report, in January 2020, nine people including the star Kobe and his daughter died in a helicopter accident.
A number of police officers were suspected of taking and sharing photos of the Kobe air crash scene, causing dissatisfaction with the families of the deceased and filing a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in the United States.
The lawsuit filed by Kobe's widow Vanessa was heard on August 11, local time, and Vanessa attended in black.

Vanessa burst into tears at the memorial service.
The plaintiffs reportedly argued that the officers shared the photos without a legitimate government reason, and the family suffered emotionally as a result.
Los Angeles County believes that Vanessa's mental injury was not due to the rumors of the photos, but the accident itself.
The county had previously agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle similar lawsuits with the families of the other two victims, though Vanessa disagreed and she reportedly intends to seek more compensation.

It was previously reported that Kobe, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and several other passengers left Orange County, Southern California by helicopter on the morning of January 26, 2020, to his Mamba Sports Academy in Ventura County.
As it flew near Calabasas, the helicopter crashed toward a hillside at a speed of 1,219 meters per minute and caught fire. The debris scattered in an area the size of a football field, killing all nine people on board.
On September 29, 2020, California Governor Newsom signed a bill to prohibit law enforcement officers from sharing or disseminating photos of deceased people at accident sites starting in 2021.
The bill was also dubbed the "Kobe Bryant" bill by the proposing lawmakers.
The act makes it illegal for emergency or law enforcement personnel to share photos of the deceased at the scene of an accident or crime if not for law enforcement purposes.
On February 9, 2021, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released the findings of the Kobe Bryant crash investigation.
