Gianna Bryant’s mother, older sister pay tribute for 16th birthday: ‘I love you to the moon and back’

Gianna Bryant’s mother and older sister shared sweet messages Sunday on what would have been her 16th birthday.

“Happy sweet sixteen my dearest gigi!” Natalia Bryant, 19, shared on Instagram, along with a photo of the siblings. “I love you to the moon and back forever & always.”

Gianna’s mother, Vanessa Bryant, posted a minute-long video featuring sketches of her daughter, who was a youth basketball player, on the court. The clip was animated similarly to the short film “Dear Basketball,” for which Kobe Bryant won an Oscar in 2018.
