Fans’ Continued Connection
Kobe Bryant’s fans have stayed connected with the now-deceased basketball legend through Vanessa Bryant’s Instagram. She isn’t known for posting large tributes to her husband or deceased daughter, but she does offer small, sweet notes from time to time. Just this past May 5th she posted on Instagram, “Capri looks just her daddy (in Gigi’s outfit)!” connecting Capri to her sister as well.
Kobe died at the age of 41 when he, Gianna, and seven other people died in a helicopter slammed into a hillside in Calabasas, a neighborhood just north of Los Angeles. The group was traveling to a youth basketball tournament, and all nine sustained immediately fatal injuries when their helicopter crashed.
Shortly after the accident, Vanessa filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Island Express Helicopters, claiming the late pilot had been “negligent” by choosing to fly in foggy conditions. The other families filed similar suits in April. According to an autopsy report released earlier this month, the pilot did not have alcohol or drugs in his system.
