Kobe and Gigi Bryant were on their way to a game at Bryant's Mamba Sports Academy when their helicopter crashed in Southern California on Jan. 26. All nine people aboard the aircraft died.

At a public memorial last month, Vanessa Bryant, 37, remembered her husband, 41, and daughter, 13, in an emotional eulogy. She has three other daughters with the former NBA star: Natalia, 17, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 9 months.

\"They were so full of joy and adventure. God knew they couldn’t be on this earth without each other. He had to bring them home to him together,\" Vanesa Bryant said. \"Babe, you take care of our Gigi. And I got Nani, B.B. and Koko. We’re still the best team.\"
