Vanessa uploaded a candid from Kobe and GiGi’s time spent courtside at a basketball game in 2019. The celebrity father and his daughter embraced one another while giving photographers their attention. “My babies,” Vanessa said of her late husband and daughter. “My world,” the celebrity added. “Two years ago.”
Kobe and GiGi Bryant died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020. The celebrity father and his daughter were headed to a basketball game at Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy. A total of nine people, including the aircraft’s pilot, died in the accident. Vanessa changed the name of her and Kobe’s sports academy to the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Academy. “Mambacita” was a nickname GiGi went by both on and off the basketball court.

“This pain is unimaginable [but] you just have to get up and push forward,” Vanessa told the media source. “Lying in bed crying isn’t going to change the fact that my family will never be the same again,” the celebrity mom said. “But getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for my girls and for me. So that’s what I do.”
