The bodies of the nine people who died in a helicopter crash in California, including Kobe Byrant and his 13-year-old daughter, have been recovered.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner announced on Tuesday all bodies had been recovered after the crash on Sunday.
Investigators used fingerprints to identify the former LA Lakers star, the pilot, another man and a woman, the coroner later said in statement.
Bryant's 13-year-old daughter Gianna was also killed in the crash but her body has not been identified.
"Investigators are still working on identifying the five remaining (bodies)," the coroner said.
The chopper, carrying the NBA legend, his daughter and seven others, came down on a hillside in Calabasas, California at around 10am on Sunday local time.
The statement read: "The bodies of the nine people who died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas on Sunday have been recovered."
It adds: "On Sunday afternoon, personnel from the department’s Special Operations Response Team (SORT) recovered three bodies from the helicopter wreckage located in the 4200 block of Las Virgenes Road in Calabasas.
"The next day, the search continued for the other six helicopter occupants. Soon after, their bodies were located, removed from the crash site and transported to the department’s Forensic Science Center."
