Witness Describes What He Saw Moments Before Kobe Bryant Helicopter Crash

Jerry Kocharian was outside his church in Calabasas in the minutes leading up to Kobe Bryant’s fatal helicopter crash.

“Extra’s” Samantha Harris spoke to Kocharian, who said the chopper was hovering just above the church but difficult to see due to the cloud cover. The helicopter took off and soon after he heard the crash and saw smoke and fire in the distance.
