Tres días después del fallecimiento del astro de Los Ángeles Lakers Kobe Bryant, su hija de 13 años y otras siete personas en un accidente de helicóptero en California, su esposa Vanessa Bryant escribió un mensaje en Instagram en el que dijo estar "completamente devastada" por la tragedia.

El texto fue publicado con una reciente fotografía familiar de Kobe y Vanessa Bryant con sus cuatro hijas: Gianna, que pereció junto a su padre; la mayor, Natalia, de 17 años; Bianka, de tres; y Capri, nacida en junio de 2019.

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 ❤️

Kobe Bryant y la segunda hija del matrimonio, apodada Gigi, fallecieron el domingo, cuando el helicóptero en el que viajaban con dirección a la Mamba Sports Academy para participar en un torneo de baloncesto, se estrelló en medio de la niebla en una colina al noroeste de Los Ángeles.

Gigi formaba parte del equipo Mamba que debía competir ese día. Su padre, que se retiró de la NBA en 2016 tras 20 años en los Lakers, era el entrenador del equipo de su hija. En el siniestro también perecieron el piloto y otros seis pasajeros: dos niñas de 13 años que participaban en el torneo, tres de sus padres y otro entrenador. La causa del accidente sigue siendo materia de investigación.

La muerte de Bryant, de 41 años, 18 veces All-Star, cinco veces campeón de la NBA y una de las figuras deportivas más admiradas del deporte mundial, dio paso una ola de lamentos y homenajes a nivel mundial.

"Mis niñas y yo queremos agradecer a los millones de personas que mostraron su apoyo y amor durante este terrible momento", escribió Vanessa Bryant, una exmodelo de 37 años, en su cuenta de Instagram. "Estamos completamente devastados por la súbita pérdida de mi adorado marido, Kobe, el increíble padre de nuestras hijas, y de mi hermosa y dulce Gianna, una hija amorosa, atenta y maravillosa hermana de Natalia, Bianka y Capri", agregó.

El mensaje añade igualmente que "estamos también devastados por las familias que perdieron a su seres queridos el domingo y compartimos su pena de forma íntima. No hay palabras suficientes para describir nuestro dolor ahora mismo".

"Me conforta saber que Kobe y Gigi sabían que eran profundamente amados. Fuimos increíblemente bendecidos por tenerlos en nuestras vidas. Ojalá estuvieran con nosotros para siempre", señaló.
