It's been months since Kobe Bryant passed on along with his daughter, Gianna. On Sunday, the late icon's wife, Vanessa Bryant, honored him with a lovely family photo for Father's day celebration.

She captioned the post, "Happy Father's Day to the BEST daddy in the world, we miss you so much. We love you forever and always. Love Nani, Gigi, BB, Koko and VB."

She ended the captions with hashtags that read, "Best of the best," and "Girl dad." The photo Vanessa posted featured Kobe seated between his three beautiful girls while holding a crying Capri — she was a newborn at the time.

Vanessa also posted a picture of the late NBA star posing with his four daughters, Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri Bryant.

Kobe and his daughter, Gigi Bryant, died on January 26, 2020, when the helicopter they boarded crashed into the hills in the Calabasas region of Los Angeles.

At their time of death, the legendary athlete was aged 41 and his daughter, Gigi was only 13-years-old. Besides them, seven other people, most of whom were Gianna's basketball teammates, also died in the crash.

She has reportedly been working with lawmakers concerning the Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant Helicopter Safety Act to ensure that the same kind of accident won't occur to others. Rest on Kobe and Gigi.
