Kylie Jenner, aged 22, has admitted to regularly renting Kobe Bryant’s helicopter and being flown by the same pilot who tragically died in the crash.
On one occasion, Kylie rented the helicopter to fly her niece, Dream Kardashian, for her birthday celebrations.
In November of last year, Rob Kardashian, Kylie’s brother, shared photos of his daughter, Dream, aged 3, posing outside the aircraft with a big smile on her face. Another picture depicted her seated on a leather chair inside the helicopter, wearing headphones over her ears, with a cuddly toy next to her.
One fan who noticed commented: “Oh wow I just noticed this is the same helicopter which was Kobe Bryant’s. That’s really eary…”
Another posted: “Is that the helicopter that Kobe and his daughter died???”
Kylie later confirmed it was the same helicopter while mourning pilot Ara Zobayan, Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and others on board.
Sharing a photo of all who died in the helicopter crash, Kylie wrote on her Instagram Story: “rest in peace..and prayers to these families. i still can’t believe this. that was the helicopter i would fly on from time to time with that pilot, Ara. he was such a nice man. hold your loved ones close.”
