Vanessa Bryant made her first public statement after the death of Kobe Bryant and Gianna, via a long Instagram post.
She lost her adoring husband and 13 year-old daughter in a helicopter crash near Southern California. They were on their way to Mamba Sports Academy where Kobe was going to coach Gianna’s basketball team. Sadly, seven other people including these two in the helicopter died with the cause yet unknown.
In her post, Vanessa wrote that the family was completely devastated and no words could describe their pain. She sent her condolences to the victim’s families and thanked everyone for their support. Continuing, Vanessa announced the formation of the Mamba Sports Foundation that would help the families that were affected by the crash.
Earlier, Vanessa changed her Instagram profile picture to a tender moment shared between Kobe and Giana. This photo was taken on 14 February 2016, the day when Bryant played his final NBA All-Star game.
