Vanessa Bryant re-posted a touching collage on Sunday from eldest daughter, Natalia, in honor of Mother’s Day, her first since losing husband Kobe Bryant and the couple’s 13-year-old daughter, Gianna.
“I love being your mama @nataliabryant , Gianna, Bianka and Capri,” Vanessa captioned the collection of images. ” #MyWorld ❤️❤️❤️❤️You are all the very best of mommy and daddy.”
Natalia, 17, originally shared the photos on Instagram earlier in the day. She later responded to Vanessa’s post: “I love you momma!”
In January, Kobe, 41, and Gianna, 13, tragically died in a helicopter crash in California, which also claimed the lives of seven others.
On Friday, Vanessa filed a legal claim over the release of allegedly unauthorized photos of the fatal crash taken by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. She also filed a wrongful death suit in February against the helicopter company.
In the wake of Kobe and Gianna’s deaths, Vanessa has been open about her grief. Earlier this month, the mother of four paid tribute to Gianna, who would have turned 14 on May 1.
“Happy 14th Birthday to my sweet baby girl, Gianna. Mommy loves you more than I can ever show you,” Vanessa wrote on Instagram at the time. “You are part of MY SOUL forever. I miss you so much everyday.”

Last week, Vanessa also shared a heartbreaking letter from Kobe, which she discovered ahead of her 38th birthday.
“Yesterday I found an envelope labeled To: The Love of my Life. From, Tu Papi ❤️I waited to open one more letter on my birthday. It gave me something to look forward to today,” Vanessa posted. “Missing the Love of my Life and my sweet little Mamacita- my fellow Taurus. Grateful to wake up to my 3 sweet girls today. Wish we were all together.”
