Sunday, Jan. 26 marks five years since nine lives were lost in a horrific helicopter crash. Kobe and Gianna “Gigi” Bryant, along with her teammates and their parents, were on their way to a basketball tournament when their helicopter crashed into the Santa Monica Mountains on what was a foggy morning in Los Angeles. There were no survivors.
Vanessa Bryant, wife of the late Kobe Bryant, has announced the release of a special mural book titled “Mamba and Mambacita Forever” in honor of her husband and daughter Gianna.
The book will feature a collection of murals dedicated to Kobe and Gianna, showcasing the impact they had on the world both on and off the basketball court. Vanessa shared the news on social media, expressing her gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from fans around the globe.
The Bryant family has been working closely with artists and photographers to curate a beautiful tribute to Kobe and Gianna, highlighting their legacy and inspiring future generations. The book will serve as a lasting memory of the father-daughter duo, celebrating their bond and the positive influence they had on so many lives.
Vanessa hopes that “Mamba and Mambacita Forever” will bring comfort to fans who continue to mourn the loss of Kobe and Gianna, while also serving as a reminder of their enduring spirit and resilience. The book is set to be released later this year, with proceeds going towards the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, which supports youth sports programs in underserved communities.
As the world continues to remember and honor Kobe and Gianna, Vanessa Bryant’s dedication to preserving their legacy through this mural book is a heartfelt gesture that will surely touch the hearts of fans everywhere. Mamba and Mambacita will indeed live on forever.
