The tragic death of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter shattered the entire world. However, one can’t even fathom what their family must have gone through. But it looks like entrepreneur and actress, La La Anthony was a pillar of support for Vanessa Bryant and her three kids.
The duo’s friendship goes way back when La La married NBA player Carmelo Anthony. Their bond became even stronger as La La continued to help Vanessa and her kids through their time of grieving.
Anthony told Entertainment times that she adores how both of their kids are growing up together. “To me, it’s one of the most important parts. They [the kids] look at themselves as cousins and they do a lot together,” she said.
