A memorial service has been held at the Staples Centre for NBA star Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, 13, who were killed in a helicopter crash on January 26.

His widow Vanessa Bryant spoke candidly to the crowd of 20,000 people about her loss, as did basketball legend Michael Jordan.

Beyonce and Alicia Keys performed and fans, with and without tickets, paid their respects outside of the stadium.

Earlier, Ms Bryant announced she is suing the owner of the helicopter in which her husband, her daughter and seven other people were travelling when it crashed in fog.
