Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant’s helicopter didn’t have a black box containing a voice recorder before it crashed in Southern California on Sunday, according to a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) official.

“There wasn’t a black box, and there isn’t a requirement to have a black box” on the aircraft, Jennifer Homendy, a member of the NTSB, said at a news conference on Monday. She said there was an iPad in the helicopter that included a flight application.
