Vanessa Bryant lost both her husband, Kobe Bryant, and teen daughter Gianna in a tragic California helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020. Through her grief, though, Vanessa has still managed to share her gratitude for public support as she mourns two such devastating losses.

She has also been vocal about her undying love and pride for her 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, a young basketball protégée who was following in her father’s sporting footsteps.
