The Death List

[HairOfTheDog]

looks like the pilot flew right into the hill.

Bad flying weather.

The Sheriff just announced that 9 people, not 5, were on board the copter.  All are deceased.

The sheriff confirmed that Kobe, GiGi, GiGi's friend, and the friend's parent were on board.  

He won't confirm the identity of the other four deceased passengers until the coroner finishes at the scene and proper family notification(s) are given.  I hope the remaining four aren't Kobe's wife Vanessa and their three other daughters (though it's terribly sad no matter who else died).
