Nothing is more heartbreaking! Obama speaks on Kobe and daughter's tragic death

President Barack Obama has broke his silence on the heartbreaking deaths of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, Gianna, and the seven other victims of the shocking helicopter crash which occured in January.

“That loss is something that I know many are still grappling with -- particularly, Kobe, because he was with his daughter and those families and those children. And those of us who have had the joy and privilege of being parents and taking kids to ball games and rooting for our children and then seeing our dreams and hopes passed on to them -- nothing is more heartbreaking,” he said.

The former president attended the NBA All-Stars brunch held in Chicago as a part of the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities. Journalist Wolf Blitzer posted a video of Obama’s speech on Instagram.
