Vanessa Bryant berbicara untuk pertama kalinya sejak suaminya Kobe Bryant dan putrinya Gianna tewas dalam kecelakaan helikopter yang mengerikan, mengatakan keluarga tersebut "benar-benar hancur" oleh tragedi itu.

Vanessa, yang menikahi Kobe Bryant pada 2001 ketika ia masih remaja, menggunakan Instagram pada Rabu malam untuk menyampaikan kesedihannya namun mengatakan ia kehilangan kata-kata.

"Kami benar-benar hancur oleh kehilangan yang tiba-tiba suami saya, Kobe — ayah yang luar biasa bagi anak-anak kami; dan Giannaku yang cantik dan manis — putri yang penuh kasih, perhatian, dan luar biasa, dan saudara perempuan yang luar biasa bagi Natalia, Bianka, dan Capri," tulisnya pada akunnya sebagaimana dikutip AFP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

My girls and I want to thank the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time. Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them. We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my adoring husband, Kobe — the amazing father of our children; and my beautiful, sweet Gianna — a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter, and amazing sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately. There aren’t enough words to describe our pain right now. I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon. I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever. Thank you for sharing your joy, your grief and your support with us. We ask that you grant us the respect and privacy we will need to navigate this new reality. To honor our Team Mamba family, the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up the MambaOnThree Fund to help support the other families affected by this tragedy. To donate, please go to MambaOnThree.org. To further Kobe and Gianna’s legacy in youth sports, please visit MambaSportsFoundation.org. Thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers, and for loving Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and me. #Mamba #Mambacita #GirlsDad #DaddysGirls #Family ❤️

Komennya terjadi pada hari ketiga setelah Bryant dan putrinya yang berusia 13 tahun meninggal ketika Sikorsky S-76 yang membawa mereka jatuh di lereng berbukit dalam kondisi berkabut tebal di Calabasas, barat laut Los Angeles. Kecelakaan tersebut juga menewaskan tujuh orang lainnya.

Helikopter tersebut sedang menuju Mamba Sports Academy milik Bryant di Thousand Oaks, tempat Gianna dijadwalkan akan memainkan pertandingan bola basket.

"Tidak ada kata-kata yang cukup untuk menggambarkan rasa sakit kami saat ini," kata Vanessa.

"Saya hanya berharap saya bisa memeluk mereka, mencium mereka dan memberkati mereka. Mereka berada di sini bersama kita, selamanya."
