On January 26th, 2020, the world lost a legend.
In Southern California, Kobe Bryant and his daughter were killed in a helicopter crash.
He was traveling with passengers in his private helicopter, and when it crashed, it, unfortunately, left no survivors.
Baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife, Keri, and daughter, Alyssa, were also on the helicopter and passed away with Kobe.
California is mourning the loss of all these people immensely and will feel this loss deeply for years to come.
They were on their way to basketball practice when the helicopter went down.
The news is completely heartbreaking, and we cannot imagine what Vanessa, her children, and their family are going through.
Celebrities and fans alike were shocked and saddened by the news and took to all forms of social media to express their sadness.
But the show did indeed go on, whether people agreed with it or not.
Luckily, they were filled with tributes to Kobe Bryant.
Some of them, including Lizzo and the Jonas Brothers, refused to be interviewed following the news.
They each wore purple bows to represent Bryant, and Priyanka Chopra included Bryant's number in her manicure.
Alicia Keys, who hosted the show, sang a touching song and gave a beautiful speech telling the audience to keep their loved ones close to them.
Considering the fact that Bryant basically made that stadium what it is, it makes sense that the Grammys would want to pay tribute to the legend.
Her opening monologue had the entire room in tears.
But there was another thing that got to fans after his tribute was done.
Needless to say, this was an incredibly touching display by the Grammys.
There is nothing worse in the world than losing a loved one.
RIP.
