Kobe Bryant Memorial

Thousands have attended a memorial to honour lakes legend Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa spoke about her husband and her 13 year old daughter Gianna who was also killed. Gianna, 13, who was one of the eight people on the helicopter with her 41-year-old father when it crashed in Calabasas last month. Vanessa Bryant recalled how Gianna and her dad gravitated toward each other and shared a "secret talent" of learning the lyrics to songs after hearing them only a few times.

Beyoncé opened the memorial and the memorial was on the 24th because 24 was Kobe Bryant’s number.
