Hollywood’s biggest names are taking to social media to celebrate Father’s Day.
In an Instagram post, Vanessa Bryant shared a lovely memory of late husband Kobe Bryant cradling daughter Capri as a newborn, flanked by daughters Gianna, Bianka, and Natalia in a room filled with balloons. The retired basketball player and daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash in January, and this is the family’s first Father’s Day without them.
"Happy Father’s Day to the BEST daddy in the world,” wrote the NBA star’s widow, who celebrated youngest daughter Capri’s first birthday on Saturday. “We miss you so much. We love you forever and always.”
