"Here we are together, on music's biggest night, celebrating the artists that do it best, but to be honest with you, we're all feeling crazy sadness right now," Keys started her statement.

The heartfelt speech was given right after the show opener Lizzo performance at Staples Center, Los Angeles, which seemed to be the place where Bryant played for the most of his career.  

Lizzo and artist like DJ Khaled, John Legend also paid tribute to Kobe and later rapper Nipsey Hussle who was allegedly shot and killed near his clothing store.
