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.
