Kobe Bryant is reportedly set to be honoured at the Oscars next month.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences will pay tribute to the late NBA legend - who won a prize at the prestigious ceremony in 2018 for his autobiographical short film Dear Basketball - following his tragic death in a helicopter crash on Monday.

According to E! News, the Academy is planning to acknowledge his passing during the ceremony.

On Monday, the organisation paid its respects to Kobe with a touching Instagram post referring to his award show success and how inspirational it was.
