Basketball legend Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in dense morning fog in southern California on Sunday.

The chopper went down on a steep hillside in Calabasas, about 30 miles (48 kilometres) northwest of downtown Los Angeles.

Aerial footage from the area showed emergency workers beside the wreckage as a small plume of smoke rose from the debris.

Among the other victims were John Altobelli, head coach of Southern California's Orange Coast College baseball team, his wife, Keri, and daughter, Alyssa, who played on the same team as Bryant's daughter.

The cause of the crash was under investigation and the National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a team of investigators to the site.
