Kobe Bryant’s daughter continues to grow up as the 21-year-old Natalia heads for a night out with her friend for her birthday to kick off 2025, whilst studying film at the University of Southern California.
Also with an interest in fashion and modelling, Natalia regularly goes viral for her clothes such as her tank top and blue jeans, her sorority outfit and her low-cut dresses, and it’s the latter that attracted attention again.
Looking like her mother, Vanessa, Natalia posted a black-and-white photo of her and her friend to celebrate the latter’s birthday, whilst wearing what appears to be the same low-cut red dress that went viral in 2024.
“Love you SO!,” the short-haired Natalia captioned the post to Instagram, smiling at her friend whilst the other girl looked at the camera in a shimmering sequin dress.
Five years since Kobe died
Away from studying and modelling, the young woman is also heavily invested in her family and can often be spotted sharing cute moments with her mother and her siblings, Bianka and Capri, too.
January is always a tough moment for the Bryant household, however. They will mark the fifth anniversary of the death of Kobe and Gianna, who were killed in a helicopter crash in 2020 in California.
Whilst trying to travel from Orange County to Ventura County to attend Bryant’s Mamba Sports Academy, the pilot lost his sense of awareness in poor visibility and crashed into the side of the hills near Calabasas.
The aircraft burst into flames upon impact and all passengers were instantly killed. The death of Kobe pushed the sports world into deep mourning for the NBA star, who won five championships with the Los Angeles Lakers from 2000-2010.
He was buried in Pacific View Memorial Park on February 7 with his daughter, whilst a public service later took place on February 24. A statue has since been erected in his honor outside the Crypto.com Arena.
