The pilot who died in a helicopter crash along with Kobe Bryant and seven others leaves behind a girlfriend of 11 years and her two children who he treated like his own, a close friend has revealed to DailyMail.com. The friend said Tessie 'Tess' Davidson, 47, is 'not good right now' and that she may 'never be over' the death of her chopper pilot partner Ara Zobayan. Ara Zobayan, 50, was the pilot manning the helicopter that Kobe Bryant and seven others were in when it crashed and killed everyone on board on Sunday. Clark said Davidson enjoyed joining Zobayan as a passenger on some of his flights. What he did with Kobe, flying Kobe around, that was his business and his job was to keep quiet about it,' he said.
