Ellen DeGeneres says Kobe Bryant's death is a reminder that 'life is short.'
"Yesterday was supposed to be a celebratory day and then we got tragic news about Kobe Bryant and everything changed in a second," DeGeneres says of the tragedy on Sunday, which was also the host's 62nd birthday and the GRAMMY Awards, at which she was nominated.
"Life is short and it's fragile and we don't know how many birthdays we have. We don't have to have a birthday to celebrate, just celebrate life," she says."And if you haven't told someone you love them, do it now. Tell people you love them. Call your friends, text your friends, hug them, kiss them. Be nice to the people at the DMV. They're people, be nice to them.""I love each and every one of you.
DeGeneres' tribute comes after late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien and James CordenKimmel called Bryant"a hero" and O'Brien remembered him as"a joy to talk with," while Fallon admitted that he thought Bryant would"live forever" and Corden called the tragedy"so unspeakably sad."
