Statue of Bruce Lee (Los Angeles)

A statue of Bruce Lee is located in Chinatown, Los Angeles, commemorating the martial artist of the same name.

[1] It was transported to Los Angeles, California after a five-year effort by Lee's daughter Shannon, and is the only statue of her late father in the United States.

Its unveiling occurred on June 15, 2013 to a crowd of hundreds, including ground-breaking Asian American actor James Hong.

It was permanently installed on a commemorative pedestal and unveiled on September 28, 2018 at a ceremony attended by Shannon Lee and California State Senator Kevin de Leon.

[3] The statue is located near the pedestrian intersection of Sun Mun Way and Jung Jing Road in Chinatown's Central Plaza, not far from the life-size 1961 bronze statue of Sun Yat-Sen.[4] Weighing in at about 1,595 pounds (723.47 kg), the Bruce Lee statue has become a cultural mecca for Lee's fans, who are regularly seen taking selfies while poised in martial arts stances.
