Vanessa Bryant has kept a low profile in the days since her husband Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gianna Bryant died tragically in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.

Since their passing Vanessa had made her Instagram page private and made no mention of her grief to the public until Wednesday when she changed her profile picture to an image of Kobe and Gianna hugging.

Upon opening up her Instagram account to the public again, she shared her grief. Vanessa started off by thanking the public for their support, love, and prayers during what she called a "horrific time." Adding that her family needed the positive outpour, she said:

"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."

In her post, Vanessa is also mentioned that she is devastated for the families who lost someone on Sunday, and said she shares their grief. Admitting that she has no words to express her pain, she shared:

"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."

Vanessa said she wished that they were together forever. Even though her family has found it impossible to wake up every day without them, she admits they feel Kobe and Gianna shining a light to guide them.

She also announced that the Mamba Sports Foundation had set up a fund called the "MambaOnThree" to help support the families affected by the tragedy.
