On Wednesday, January 26, a sculpture of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna “Gigi” Bryant was unveiled at the helicopter accident site where they and seven others died two years ago.
Gigi clutches her father’s hand as it rests on her shoulder in the bronze statue, which depicts Kobe and Gigi wearing basketball uniforms and sharing a loving glance.
Fans who hiked the 2.1km to pay their respects to the sporting star were greeted by sculptor Dan Medina, who was on hand to greet them.
Medina said: “This is all on my own, no one asked me to do it.”
“On this day, the second anniversary of the accident, I decided to bring it up from sunrise to sunset and create a bit of a healing process for fans,” he said.
The names of all nine victims of the early morning crash on Jan 26, 2020 are engraved on the statue’s steel pedestal.
There was an inscription of Bryant’s popular quote: “Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.”

On January 11, the American TV host and the rapper shared a charming photo of a baby blanket covered in footprints with the nametag “Baby Jenkins” nearby on Instagram, announcing the arrival of their child.
Speaking on The Real, the co-host, 43, shared that her child Monaco is a baby girl.
“That’s the part that I’m still just so overwhelmed with,” Mai says of becoming a girl mom in a preview clip for the Wednesday episode. “I can’t explain to you how many visions jumped into my head this moment I put that little girl into my hands. I thought about my relationship with Mama Mai. That already, I can’t wait to have that bond with Monaco.”
She adds, “I also thought about all the things that I didn’t learn as a little girl, that I can’t wait to teach my daughter now. There’s just so many reasons why raising a little girl is such an honor to me. I would have been happy with anything, but to have Monaco, I can’t tell you, I feel chosen. It’s emotional, and I can’t wait to raise a really strong, loving, empathetic, humorous, fashionable, fly, little girl.”
