On January 26, 2020, a private helicopter with nine people on board, including the legendary Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant with his daughter Gianna, crashed in California.

Only one person survived – a bodyguard who got seriously injured. The driver, Diana, and her lover Dodi Al-Fayed were all killed. She was adored and admired by fans worldwide and was truly worthy of her title, “the People’s Princess.”

3. Chester Bennington

Linkin Park’s lead singer died on July 20, 2017. He was found dead in his LA house. There were empty bottles of alcohol in the room, however, no suicide note was found. The world lost Bennington on the birthday of his close friend Chris Cornell, who killed himself two months earlier in a similar way – by hanging. Chester’s death came as a complete surprise to the band members since they had a photo session planned on that day, and a week later, they were supposed to go on a tour.
