This marks the family's first Father's Day without the NBA legend since him and Gigi died with seven others in a helicopter crash in January.

The Father's Day post comes shortly after Kobe Bryant's widow celebrated her youngest daughter Capri's milestone birthday.

\"Happy 1st Birthday Capri! Mommy, Daddy, Nani, Gigi and BB love you SO much!!!\" she wrote in a social media post for her daughter. \"God Bless you sweet princess. Capri Kobe Bryant a.k.a. 'Koko-Bean' named after her dearly missed daddy, Kobe Bean Bryant. We miss you SO much Gigi and Daddy.\"
