Nine people including retired NBA star Kobe Bryant were killed in a helicopter crash Sunday.

The downtown pad will reportedly be a second home for Steph and Ayesha Curry.

The donations are being made to honor retired Lakers star Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant who died in a helicopter crash on Sunday.

The helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant didn't have a recommended warning system to alert the pilot he was too close to land but it's not clear it would have averted the crash that killed nine as the aircraft plummeted toward a fog-shrouded hillside, federal regulators and experts said.

Bryant affectionately nicknamed his daughter "Mambacita."

Longtime pilot Ara Zobayan told air traffic controllers in his last radio message that he was climbing to avoid clouds.

Federal investigators will continue sifting through the wreckage on Tuesday morning.
