2020 hasn’t been an easy year for anybody, not least due to the tragic loss of these beloved stars.

Nonetheless, their legacies will endure: in the loved ones who survive them, and the memories they’ve left for their fans. Here are the celebrities who have died in 2020.

Kobe Bryant died at the age of 41 on January 26th 2020, in a helicopter crash over Calabasas, California. The crash also killed his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, who Kobe was reportedly taking to basketball practice at the time of the tragic crash.

Bryant, who joined the NBA right out of high school, was widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He won five NBA championships and was named NBA Finals MVP twice and league MVP once throughout his celebrated 20-year career. The Los Angeles Lakers retired both of Bryant’s jersey numbers: 8 and 24. In addition to being one of the most decorated NBA stars of all time, he was also an Oscar winner, taking home an award for his 2018 short animated film Dear Basketball.

Kobe is survived by wife Vanessa, whom he married in 2001 after six months of dating. In 2012, Vanessa filed for divorce, but they reconciled in January 2013. Kobe and Gianna are also survived by his three other daughters, Natalia, Bianca, and Capri.

Who was the Bollywood actor known for his powerful performances in films such as “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Life of Pi” who passed away in April?

The year 2020 has been an especially challenging year for the world. Starting with the outbreak of COVID-19 that has affected millions and taken hundreds of thousands of lives, 2020 has been an unprecedented year. Additionally, there has been a long list of celebrities who have sadly departed this year, leaving fans worldwide in mourning.

The year began with the tragic news of basketball legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna passing away in a helicopter crash. Kobe Bryant, who was only 41 years old, was a five-time NBA champion, 18-time All-Star, and the 2008 NBA MVP.

In March, Hollywood lost a rising talent in Max von Sydow, who had a lengthy career in film and television that spanned over 70 years. He was a two-time Oscar nominee and appeared in many acclaimed films such as “The Seventh Seal” and “The Exorcist.”

In April, Bollywood lost one of its most beloved actors, Irrfan Khan, who had appeared in over 80 films spanning Bollywood and Hollywood. He was known for his powerful performances in films such as “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Life of Pi.”

May saw the passing of a music icon, Little Richard, who pioneered the rock and roll genre with hits such as “Tutti Frutti” and “Good Golly Miss Molly.” He was widely regarded as a music legend and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.

June marked the loss of two-time Tony Award winner and Broadway star, Brian Stokes Mitchell. He appeared in numerous productions, including “Ragtime” and “Kiss Me, Kate,” and was considered as one of the greatest stage actors of his generation.

In July, the world lost one of its most iconic civil rights activists and members of Congress, John Lewis. He led the voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965 and spent over 30 years in the US House of Representatives fighting for equality and justice.

August saw the passing of Chadwick Boseman, known for his iconic role as King T’Challa in Marvel’s “Black Panther.” Boseman was widely celebrated for breaking barriers in Hollywood and representing a new face of black excellence.

These are just a few of the many celebrities who have passed away in 2020. Each of them left a profound impact on society and the entertainment industry, and their contributions will undoubtedly be remembered for years to come. Their passing is a reminder that life is fragile, and we should cherish every moment we have with our loved ones. As their fans continue to mourn their loss, the memories of their accomplishments and legacies will continue to inspire future generations.
