(CNN)Jennifer Hudson will perform a special tribute at Sunday's NBA All-Star Game to Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others killed in a helicopter crash last month.
The National Basketball Association announced Thursday that the Grammy Award-winning singer and Academy Award-winning actress will open the night ahead of player introductions with the tribute.
Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter were among a group of nine people who died on January 26 when the helicopter they had been traveling in crashed on a mountainside in Calabasas, California.
The All-Star Game will take place in Chicago and celebrity natives of that city, including Hudson, will participate in the scheduled entertainment for the night.
