Officials have recovered all nine bodies in the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office told news outlets Tuesday.

Three bodies were retrieved and taken back down the hillside in the rough terrain of Calabasas, outside Los Angeles, on Sunday, KTLA reported. The remaining six were taken down Monday.

The bodies will be taken to the forensic science center for official examination and identification, per the coroner’s office.
