Vanessa Bryant filed a claim against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, contending deputies shared unauthorized photos of the site where her husband and daughter died in a helicopter crash in January.

The claim, which is a precursor to a lawsuit, was filed on May 8, the Los Angeles Times reported. Retired Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant and the couple’s 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, were killed along with seven others in the Jan. 26 crash.
