As Kobe’s most beloved wife, Vanessa spoke publicly for the first time after Kobe’s death, expressing her grief and gratitude for the public’s concern, and saying that she would continue to work hard to move forward. On January 27, many people’s favorite star Kobe Bryant unfortunately passed away. It was reported that the helicopter Kobe was riding in accidentally crashed, along with Kobe’s 13-year-old daughter and seven other people. This is sad news, not only for the public who love Kobe, but also for Vanessa's family, who is Kobe's wife and Kobe's family who love Kobe deeply.

Vanessa said in a public IG post that hearing about the sudden death of Kobe and her daughter completely devastated Vanessa and Kobe’s family. The originally happy family fell completely into darkness due to the news of Kobe's death. There is nothing more tragic in this world than the death of one's own relatives. Words are not enough to describe or express the heartache Vanessa and everyone feel over the passing of Kobe. Kobe is only 41 years old this year, and his daughter is only 13 years old. Kobe's original intention when he took the helicopter home was to have more time to spend with his family.

Unfortunately, God took away Kobe and his lovely daughter, and Vanessa, Kobe’s wife, fell into deep grief after this incident. Nothing can be achieved overnight, and people also need time to transition when accepting something, but Vanessa endured the grief of two of her favorite people leaving her in one day. Life can be so cruel sometimes, so cruel that people are afraid to accept the truth of things. After this incident, Vanessa received a lot of concern and help from the outside world.

While expressing her sadness and gratitude, Vanessa also expressed the hope that the outside world could leave her and her family some private space, and said that she would continue to move forward. In order to commemorate the Mamba Family Team, Vanessa also established the Mamba Sports Foundation, hoping to help more unfortunate families get out of the haze and move on.
