News about Gianna Bryant

Vanessa Bryant has settled her remaining claims against Los Angeles County over the misappropriation of photographs from her husband's gruesome murder - Kobe Bryant - and her daughter, Gianna Bryant. Vanessa Bryant's federal case was worth $15 million in August. The deal, which was announced today, refers to allegations of privacy invasion. In order to finalize the agreement, Bryant brought her two youngest daughters, Capri and Bianka.

On Thursday, Vanessa Bryant and late NBA star Kobe Bryant's firstborn daughter Natalia Bryant celebrated her birthday. The mother-of-three, 40, who lost her daughter Gianna Bryant and her husband in a 2020 helicopter crash, posted a note on Instagram wishing her eldest child a happy 20th birthday. 'Welcome to your 20s!!!We love you so much baby!!!' In an empirically exhilarating caption, the philanthropist wrote an exuberant remark.

On Tuesday, Sky Cornell (top left), a public information officer with the LA County Fire Department, informed a jury that first responders went into damage control after it became public that they posted photographs of the helicopter crash (right) that killed Bryant, 41, and his daughter, Gianna 13, who died in 2020. According to TMZ, Cornell had confessed to prosecutors that he 'wanted to see Kobe' as the images were shared. 'Just a reminder folks, there are no secrets! According to Cornell, "one way or another people are exposed." Tony Imbrenda (bottom left), a colleague who admitted to sharing the images at an awards gala, referred to them as 'plutonium,' and that he needed to'get rid of them.' It's the most recent case in the courtroom after Vanessa brought a lawsuit against the LA County fire department and the sheriff's office for invasion of privacy after officers' photos of the accident were posted.

On Tuesday, deputy Michael Russell (left) told an LA jury that he texted photographs of the crash to Santa Clarita Sheriff's Deputy Ben Sanchez, a day after Kobe, 41, and his daughter, Gianna, 13, were killed in 2020. Russell said he was playing the popular shooting game with Sanchez when he told the deputy that he retrieved photos of the crime scene from fellow LA Deputy Joey Cruz. Cruz (right) testified on Tuesday and admitted that he showed off photos of the crash to a bartender in the hopes of 'easing the anxiety' he had been dealing with from the investigation. Since the photographs of the accident were published by officers, Bryant's widow, Vanessa (inset), is suing the LA County fire department and the sheriff's office for invasion of privacy.

Brian Jordan, the former Los Angeles fire fighter, testified on Monday that he was ordered to photograph Chief Anthony Marrone's car wreck scene. Marrone denies releasing the order, saying that scenes from Kobe Bryant's murder of his daughter Gianna 13, which was tragic, should not be taken. After photographs of her husband and daughter's bodies were posted, Bryant's widow filed a lawsuit against the LA County fire department and sheriff's office for invasion of privacy.
