在这个困难时期,我和我的女儿们想感谢数以百万计给予我们支持和爱的人们。谢谢你们的祈祷。我们真的非常需要。我深爱的丈夫科比,孩子们的出色父亲,以及我美丽的甜心吉亚娜,一个可爱有想法的女儿,娜塔莉亚,比安卡和卡普里的好姐妹,他们的突然离世让我们彻底崩溃。
我们也对其他遇难者和家庭感到悲痛。
没有足够的言语可以形容目前的痛苦。我只能安慰自己科比和Gigi知道他们被深爱着。我们非常感恩能在生命里拥有他们。我希望他们能永远和我们在这里。他们太早从我们身边被夺走。
我不知道我们未来的生活会怎样。无法想象没有他们的生活。但是每天早上醒来,我们都会努力继续前进,因为科比和可爱的Gigi正在照亮我们的前路。我们对他们的爱没有止境。也是无法被衡量的。我只希望可以拥抱,亲吻和祝福他们。让他们永远留在身边。
感谢和我们分享你们的快乐,悲伤和支持。我们也请求给我们尊重和私人空间。我们需要面对新的现实。
为了纪念我们的曼巴家庭队,曼巴体育基金会成立了Mambaonthree基金,以帮助其他遇难的家庭。
非常感谢你们在祈祷中支持我们,感谢你们爱科比、Gigi,、Natalia、Bianka、 Capri 和我。

My girls and I want to thank the millions of people who’ve shown support and love during this horrific time. Thank you for all the prayers. We definitely need them. 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. 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.
I’m not sure what our lives hold beyond today, and it’s impossible to imagine life without them. But we wake up each day, trying to keep pushing because Kobe, and our baby girl, Gigi, are shining on us to light the way. Our love for them is endless — and that’s to say, immeasurable. I just wish I could hug them, kiss them and bless them. Have them here with us, forever.
Thank you for sharing your joy, your grief and your support with us. We ask that you grant us the respect and privacy we will need to navigate this new reality.
To honor our Team Mamba family, the Mamba Sports Foundation has set up the MambaOnThree Fund to help support the other families affected by this tragedy. To donate, please go to MambaOnThree.org.

Thank you so much for lifting us up in your prayers, and for loving Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka, Capri and me.
