Danielle Fishel found it hard to pen down her message, admitting that she has written and rewritten it 12 times. She also said that she couldn't find the words because they felt weak and worthless, considering the tragedy facing Vanessa and her daughters.

Danielle also said that Bryant's family and the other families grieving the loss of their loved ones who died in the crash have been in her prayers, adding that God was watching over them and wrapping them in His light and love.

Vanessa concluded her long and touching message by announcing that the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up a charity, "MambaOnThree Fund," for the seven other victims of the helicopter crash.

Meanwhile, a 13-year-old boy, Brady Smigiel, may have taken the last photo of Kobe Bryant after he captured a blurry selfie with the late former LA Lakers star at the Mamba Academy on Saturday, a day before Kobe's death.

Brady and his twin brother, Beau, were huge fans of Kobe, and the former got a chance for a selfie with Kobe after Gianna's game on Saturday.

The photo turned out blurry, although Kobe promised they would take a better one the next day, being Sunday, which never was, as Kobe, Gianna, and seven others died in the helicopter crash.
