It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly five years since Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna. Kobe and Gianna are survived by his wife, Vanessa, and their daughters Natalia, 21, Bianka, 8, and Capri, 5. Kobe and Gianna’s sudden death came as a shock to the world. The NBA Icon was just 41 years old, and no one thought his life would end in such a tragic way. The grief his wife and daughters felt was unimaginable, but time has helped heal some of those wounds. Vanessa Bryant, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri are doing their best to honor Kobe and Gianna’s memory and their lives to the fullest.
