Permanent Kobe Bryant Statue At Crash Site Not Happening, Officials Say

The site of the tragic helicopter crash where Kobe and Gigi Bryant were killed is still being used for a statue. A permanent sculpture won't be installed.

The City of Calabasas told us this week that they have no plans for a memorial at the crash site.

There is no permanent memorial on the site of the tragic crash, according to a spokesman for the Mountains Recreation Conservation Authority.

The rep for the MRCA told us that there is nothing currently in the works for now or the future.

It was a disappointment for those who wanted to see a statue erected after a 160-pound one was placed on the scene on the anniversary of the crash.

The mini-monument was a hit with fans and Medina was willing to give a life-sized version of it to the city for free.

Medina still hopes to visit the crash site every year to see the sculpture to honor the NBA legend and the other victims.
