There were rumors that ex-Laker Rick Fox was one of those killed, but his reps confirm that he was not on the copter and is still alive.

Kobe Bryant (41), Gianna Bryant (13), John Altobelli (56), Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester (13), Christina Mauser and the pilot, Ara Zobayan.
