After changing her Instagram profile picture to pay tribute to the late basketball player and their daughter Gianna, Vanessa posts a lengthy message saying she wishes 'they were here with us forever.'

AceShowbiz - Vanessa Bryant has broken her silence on the tragic deaths of her husband Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gianna. The mother of four just posted on her Instagram page a picture of her, Kobe and their four daughters smiling during one of their happy days along with a lengthy message addressing the devastating loss.

Vanessa began by thanking "the millions of people who've shown support and love during this horrific time." She wrote on Wednesday, January 29, "Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them."

Sharing her feelings, Vanessa added, "We are completely devastated by the sudden loss of my adoring husband, Kobe - the amazing father of our children; and my beautiful, sweet Gianna - a loving, thoughtful, and wonderful daughter, and amazing sister to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri. We are also devastated for the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday, and we share in their grief intimately."

"There aren't enough words to describe our pain right now," she continued. "I take comfort in knowing that Kobe and Gigi both knew that they were so deeply loved. We were so incredibly blessed to have them in our lives. I wish they were here with us forever. They were our beautiful blessings taken from us too soon."

Vanessa confessed, "I'm not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it's impossible to imagine life without them," but added that she and her family "wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way." Noting that "our love for them is endless - and that's to say, immeasurable," she heartbreakingly said, "I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever."

Vanessa also asked "respect and privacy" as they "navigate this new reality." She then urged fans and followers to help "the other families affected by this tragedy" by donating to the MambaOnThree Fund on MambaOnThree.org.

She concluded the statement with, "Thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers, and for loving Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and me," and added the hashtags #Mamba #Mambacita #GirlsDad #DaddysGirls #Family.

Earlier on Wednesday, Vanessa changed her Instagram profile picture to Kobe and Gianna to honor her late husband and daughter. She previously set her social media account private following the Sunday, January 26 helicopter crash in Calabasas, California that took the lives of her loved ones and seven other people on board.
