LOS ANGELES — Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna were buried last week near their family home in Newport Beach, California, in a private ceremony, according to death certificates. A death certificate for the basketball legend, who was killed in a helicopter crash outside Los Angeles on Jan. 26 along with his daughter and seven others, states that he was buried last Friday at Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar, US media reported. A memorial service for Bryant and Gianna is planned Feb. 24 at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles which can hold 20,000 people. The Center, also the home of the NHL"s Los Angeles Kings and venue for concerts and events such as the recent Grammy Awards, has hosted memorials for recording artists Michael Jackson and Nipsey Hussle. Byrant"s wife Vanessa on Monday took to Instagram to express her grief saying "my brain refuses to accept that both Kobe and Gigi are gone." "It"s like I"m trying to process Kobe being gone but my body refuses to accept my Gigi will never come back to me," she added. "It feels wrong. Why should I be able to wake up another day when my baby girl isn"t being able to have that opportunity?! I"m so mad. She had so much life to live. Then I realize I need to be strong and be here for my 3 daughters." Bryant had an iconic 20-year career playing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Snoop Dogg apologizes for attacking anchor over Bryant story Rapper Snoop Dogg apologized on Wednesday for an obscenity-laced tirade in which he appeared to threaten a CBS news anchor over an interview about late basketball star Kobe Bryant. Snoop Dogg"s harangue on social media had followed an interview that "CBS This Morning" anchor Gayle King had with former women"s basketball star Lisa Leslie which referenced a 2003 sexual abuse allegation against Bryant. "Two wrongs don"t make no right. When you"re wrong, you gotta fix it," Snoop Dogg said in an Instagram video apologizing for his outburst. "So with that being said, Gayle King, I publicly tore you down by coming at you in a derogatory manner based off of emotions, me being angry at questions that you asked," Snoop Dogg said, adding that he "overreacted" to the interview. "I should have handled it way different than that — I was raised way better than that. So I would like to apologize to you publicly for the language that I used and calling you out of your name and just being disrespectful." Snoop Dogg said he felt he had to defend his friend Bryant. "A lot of people look up to me and they love me ... so I want to let them know that anytime you mess up, it"s OK to fix it, it"s OK to man up and say that you"re wrong," he said. "I apologize. Hopefully we can sit down and talk privately. Have a good day." After her interview, King received multiple death threats, according to her good friend, media mega-star Oprah Winfrey. — AFP
