After Natalia turned 18 last January, Vanessa paid a special birthday tribute to her eldest daughter, almost a year after her father Kobe Bryant, 41, and sister Gigi Bryant, 13, were killed in a helicopter crash.
“You have shown so much strength and grace during the most difficult year of our lives,” said Vanessa, who is also mother to daughters Bianka, four, and Capri, twenty months. “Thank you for coming in to help me with your little sisters.”
Kobe and Gigi, along with seven others, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on January 26, 2020. Also killed in the crash were pilot Ara Zobayan, 50, Payton Chester, 13, Sarah Chester, 46, Alyssa Altobelli, 14, Keri Altobelli, 46, John Altobelli, 56, and Christina Mauser, 38.
