Despite the tragedy that the Bryant family has endured this year, they’ve been able to find joy with each other. It was back in January when the news of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant’s death sent shockwaves throughout the world. The father and daughter lost their lives alongside seven of their friends in a helicopter crash, and as the legal disputes and lawsuits rage on, Vanessa Bryant is sharing laughs and smiles with her daughters.

On Friday (June 12), Vanessa shared an Instagram post that could make just about anyone chuckle. Eldest daughter Natalia Bryant looked to be having a fun time with baller Sabrina Ionescu while attempting to make TikTok dance videos. The two ladies could barely keep it together as they anticipated an adorable video-bomb from three-year-old Bianka Bryant who stole the show.

Recently, Vanessa also shared that she received a tattoo honoring the memories of Kobe and Gianna. She got the ink in the hallway of her home and wrote in the caption of a video on IG that it was a “sweet message” from the late basketball icon. Check out the laugh-worthy video of little Bianka showing that she’s the Bryant sister with the best dance moves below.

Vanessa Bryant shared some heartwarming footage of her daughters Bianka and Capri getting a head start on the Easter festivities this year, their first without husband and father, Kobe Bryant, and daughter and sister, Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, since their tragic deaths in January. Vanessa and her three girls have been a pillar of strength since losing Kobe and Gigi in a horrific helicopter accident earlier this year. It’s never easy to spend a holiday without your loved ones who have passed, but it looks like the Bryant ladies are making the most of the somber weekend.

On Saturday, Vanessa posted a video on Instagram of 3-year-old Bianka trying to smash open a big blue Easter egg with baby Capri watching closeby. Despite Bianka’s best efforts, Vanessa decides to take matters into her own hands (literally) by using the hammer to help Bianka crack open the egg, which was sent to them by famous florist, Jeff Leatham. After pulling out a bunch of confetti, tons Easter treats are revealed to be inside the gift.

Although the oldest Bryant daughter, 17-year-old Natalia, does not make an appearance in the brief clip, there’s no doubt she’ll be spending Easter with them. Happy Easter to this beautiful family! Our thoughts are with them.

She remains a pillar of strength for her family, and now Vanessa Bryant is making sure that all three of her daughters are taken care of financially. Vanessa continues to mourn the recent loss of husband Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna. As time presses forward, TMZ reports that Vanessa Bryant has filed legal documents asking a judge to amend her husband’s trust. It seems that Capri, their eight-month-old daughter, wasn’t included in Kobe’s trust prior to his untimely, tragic death.

TMZ states that Kobe enacted the trust back in 2003 and over the years, as their lives have changed, Kobe and Vanessa have amended the document—especially after each of their daughters was born. Kobe passed away before he and his wife could add Capri’s name to the trust, so Vanessa hopes that a judge will allow the addition.

The trust agreement reportedly states that Vanessa, her 17-year-old daughter Natalia, and her three-year-old daughter Bianka, “can draw from the principal and income in the trust during Vanessa’s lifetime, and then her kids get the remainder upon her death.” In the recent documents filed, Vanessa reportedly makes the claim that it was always Kobe Bryant’s intention to provide for all members of his family. 

Kobe and Gianna Bryan tragically passed away in a helicopter accident on January 26th. The helicopter had six other passengers and a pilot, who also lost their lives. It’s quite possibly one of the biggest tragedies in the history of sports and fans are still trying to figure out how this could happen to such a huge legend. Ever since the accident, there have been numerous tributes from artists, athletes, and fans who were touched by Kobe’s legacy.

This loss has been incredibly hard on Bryant’s family. Vanessa Bryant has been active on social media since the passing of her husband and daughter and always makes sure to pay tribute to them whenever she can. This past weekend, Bryant and her daughters visited a mural in which Kobe is depicted kissing Gianna on the top of the head. In the photo posted below, Kobe’s oldest daughter, Natalia, can be seen posing in front of the mural with a smile on her face.

These tributes to Kobe and Gianna have been quite beautiful and it’s great to see the Bryant family interacting with them. Kobe and Gianna meant so much to a lot of people and their legacies will forever live on.

The last moments for the nine people who lost their lives in the Calabasas helicopter crash is something that no one could imagine. Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Maria-Onore “GiGi” Bryant were killed in the accident along with John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, 13-year-old Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, and pilot Ara Zobayan. As devastating as this news continues to be for a world mourning an icon, it’s reported that Kobe’s last hours were spent with his daughters.

It was previously reported that on Sunday (January 26) morning, prior to boarding the helicopter with his daughter and seven others—which was headed to the Mamba Sports Academy in nearby Thousand Oaks, California—Kobe and Gianna went to church together. According to The Daily Mail, the father-daughter duo attended “Catholic Mass and received Communion at the Cathedral of Our Lady Queen of the Angels in Newport Beach.”

TMZ now reports that the day prior on Saturday (January 25), Kobe spent the late afternoon with his three-year-old daughter Bianka Bryant enjoying the simpler things life has to offer as they strolled around Newport Beach’s Fashion Island Mall. The pair were captured on camera as Kobe watched his toddler admire the koi pond (you can check out that brief clip here). It’s reported that the Bryant family frequently visited the Fashion Island Mall and that it was a normal occurrence to see the icon with his girls at many of the Orange County city’s local establishments. Scroll through a few of Kobe’s family photos and videos from his Instagram account below.
