Legendary Basketball star,Kobe Bryant’s wife of over 19 years has broken her silence on the death of her husband and their daughter, Gianna, in a touching Instagram post.

The basketball star, 41, and his daughter died Sunday in a helicopter crash near Los Angeles that killed seven other people as they were on their way to a basketball tournament in Thousand Oaks, California. Vanessa Bryant said she and her three surviving daughters have been “completely devastated.”

“There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now,” she wrote on Instagram. “I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved.”
Vanessa and Kobe Bryant married in 2001 and would have celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary in April.

She described the basketball legend as an adoring husband and father and called Gianna “a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter” and an amazing sister to their three other daughters, Natalia, Bianka and Capri.
