My heart is in pieces hearing the news of this unimaginable tragedy. I can’t fathom what the families are going through. Kobe meant so much to me and to us all. Sending my prayers, love, and endless condolences to Vanessa and the family and anyone who lost someone on that flight.
I am completely speechless and devastated at the unexpected passing of my dear friend, @kobebryant. Kobe had a big heart and an even bigger love for the community of Los Angeles. Through his foundation, he changed the lives of so many people and families with his wife, Vanessa. pic.twitter.com/4zs4zcjcfe
Praying for these two, and Vanessa and the girls…for the rest of the victims. I can’t put words together I am a mess. I can only imagine what The Bryants are going through. RIP Kobe and Gianna. 🤎 pic.twitter.com/fnPBmeZVmS
I'm so sad and stunned right now. In Staples Arena, where Kobe created so many memories for all of us, preparing to pay tribute to another brilliant man we lost too soon, Nipsey Hussle. Life can be so brutal and senseless sometimes. Hold on to your loved ones. We miss you, Kobe
I’m in shock! My heart goes out to vanessabryant & their children & also to the families of the other people who didn’t survive. This hurts! We lost a legend. #RIPKobeBryanthttps://t.co/15bdgLGbhp
