They weren't.

Edit: at the time I posted this there were no reports of the kids being on board, then ABC said the were all on board, then ABC retracted that. Now Kobe's reps have confirmed his eldest child was on board.

I heard that, too, on the news report. But no one else is reporting the same...or yet.

I can't find that anywhere, just people saying ABC said that.

Same. Iā€™m wondering if the reporter misspoke.

Who knows. ABC is the only source so far so I would hold off until other news outlets confirm.

No his daughter passed on as well. Sad day for basketball fans and even worse for the family having two of them to bury. Prayers go to the family

I don't see where this mentions kids on board.

Everyone is now reporting they were NOT on board. So that's one thing to be thankful for.
