Vanessa Bryant took to social media Wednesday to thank the public for its support and express her grief over the helicopter crash that killed her husband, Kobe, daughter Gianna and seven others Sunday. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon,” she wrote on Instagram. Vanessa Bryant said she was overwhelmed by the love and support for her family over the last few days. Because the FAA didn’t follow the recommendation, the helicopter that crashed Sunday was not legally required to have the system. It remained unclear what the pilot knew about the terrain surrounding him or whether he had become disoriented.
