Kobe Bryant’s young widow has broken her silence since the basketball legend died in a helicopter crash.
In a moving tribute, his widow Vanessa, said she was devastated following his demise and so are their daughters.
In a post on her official Instagram page, Vanessa thanked her husband’s fans and the whole world for their condolence messages explaining they had indeed shown the family a lot of love at their lowest time.
She says they are devastated and passed her condolences to the families of those who perished alongside her husband in the Sunday helicopter crash.
“My girls and I want to thank the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time. Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them. We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my adoring husband, Kobe — the amazing father of our children; and my beautiful, sweet Gianna — a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter, and amazing sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri,” she said.
She added: “We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately.”
Vanessa said words cannot describe the pain the family is going through and that their lives had changed, completely.
“There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way,” she mourned.
