Vanessa Bryant paid a heartwarming homage to her late husband, Kobe Bryant, on Father’s Day.

This Sunday (June 21), the widow of the NBA legend took to Instagram to honor her favorite father with a touching photo. “Happy Father’s Day to the BEST daddy in the world. We miss you so much. We love you forever and always. Love, Nani, Gigi, BB, Kok and VB,” the 38-year-old captioned an image of Kobe posing in front of balloon arrangements alongside his four daughters — Natalia, Gianna, Bianka, and Capri.

The touching tribute comes five months after Kobe, 41, and Gianna, 13, tragically died in a helicopter crash on January 26 along with several other passengers.

Vanessa’s Father’s Day post also comes a day after celebrating their daughter Capri’s first birthday on Saturday (June 20). The celebration was a bittersweet one for the matriarch, who had to honor Capri’s milestone without Gianna and Kobe.

“Happy 1st Birthday Capri! Mommy, Daddy, Nani, Gigi and BB you SO much!!! Bless you sweet princess,” Vanessa wrote with a delightful photo of her Natalia, Bianka and the birthday girl all dressed in matching pink outfits for the occasion. “Capri Kobe Bryant a.k.a. ‘Koko-Bean’ named after her dearly missed daddy, Kobe Bean Bryant ❤️ We miss you SO much Gigi and Daddy.”

As previously reported, Vanessa is currently seeking major financial damages in a wrongful lawsuit against Island Express Helicopters, whose pilot flew the copter that crashed. What’s more, Vanessa is also urging lawmakers to pass a safety bill named after Kobe and Gianna.
