Former US President, Barrack Obama has spoken publicly concerning the death of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and daughter, Gigi.

Kobe and Gigi died in a helicopter crash late last month on their way to a basketball game.

Obama who spoke during a brunch at the NBA All-star weekend stated that he knew their death was still fresh in people's mind.

He said, "That loss is something that I know many are still grappling with particularly, Kobe because he was with his daughter and those families and those children. And those of us who have had the joy and privilege of being parents, and taking our kids to ball games, and rooting for our children, and then seeing our dreams and hopes passed on to them ... nothing is more heartbreaking."
