AceShowbiz - Blac Chyna was left "distraught" after discovering her daughter Dream had been taken on a helicopter by the tot's aunt Kylie Jenner without her permission.

Kylie took to her Instagram Stories on Monday (January 27) to pay her tributes to basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who died alongside his daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash on Sunday, and reveal she often flew in the same Sikorsky S-76 aircraft the sportsman was in when he was killed.

It was reported that Kylie had once hired the helicopter to take Dream, the daughter of her brother Rob Kardashian and Chyna, out for her third birthday.

And following the revelation, Chyna hit back in a statement via her lawyer, with Lynne Ciani telling In Touch Weekly magazine that the reality star was "distraught" when she found out what had happened.

"Chyna has become aware that Kylie Jenner is using the tragic deaths of Kobe Bryant, his beautiful daughter, and seven other precious souls to profess her 'distress' that she and Dream had ridden on the same helicopter with the same pilot prior to Sunday's horrific crash," Ciana said. "What Kylie failed to disclose was that Chyna never gave Kylie permission to take her precious daughter Dream on a helicopter ride and that Chyna never would have given Kylie that permission."

"No parents should find out after-the-fact that their child has participated in a dangerous activity without their permission. Chyna voiced her strong objections to Rob and insisted that it never happen again. She sends her heartfelt prayers and condolences to all of the families impacted by yesterday's tragedy."

Neither Rob nor Kylie had responded to the statement as WENN went to press.
