These photos of Kobe Bryant and Gigi prove they will live in our hearts forever

On Sunday, we woke up shocked and devastated to know that the legendary Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna “Gigi” Bryant died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. That same crash took seven other lives.

With the overflow of tributes, here are some photos of the Black Mamba and Mambacita that will forever live in our hearts.
