Bryant and his daughter Gianna died along with seven others when the aircraft crashed in the LA area.

His wife, Vanessa Bryant, sued, saying first responders photographed human remains as tradable "souvenirs".

Lawyers for LA County called the settlement "fair and reasonable".

"Today marks the successful culmination of Mrs Bryant's courageous battle to hold accountable those who engaged in this grotesque conduct," lawyers for the plaintiff said in a statement on Tuesday.
