LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kobe Bryant’s daughters Natalia, 21, Bianka, 8, and Capri, 5, were a vision of joy and appeared all grown up as they celebrated the holidays with their mother, Vanessa Bryant, in a snowy winter wonderland.
Vanessa, 42, shared a heartwarming video on Instagram on December 31, showing the family’s snowy getaway, complete with skiing adventures and festive poses in front of sparkling Christmas trees.
The clip also included snapshots from a recent magical trip to Disneyland, where the family enjoyed more holiday cheer.
Natalia Bryant's knack for storytelling
Natalia Bryant, the eldest of the Bryant sisters, is reportedly pursuing her passion for storytelling as a film major at the University of Southern California.
In September 2023, she made her mark in the fashion world, debuting on the runway at the Versace Spring/Summer 2024 show during Milan Fashion Week.
Natalia’s love for cinema stems from cherished moments with her late father.

“One may wonder why I developed such a fondness for movies like 'Star Wars', Harry Potter, the complete Marvel universe, and Goonies,” Natalia said at a March 2023 ceremony honoring Kobe.
“Well, the reason behind it is that I watched all of these movies with my dad, and each of those memories I will never forget.”
Bianka Bryant's special Eras Tour moment
Bianka Bryant had her own star-studded moment in August 2023 when Taylor Swift gifted her the iconic hat during her performance of '22' at an Eras Tour concert in California.
Vanessa proudly shared the special moment on Instagram, posting a photo of Swift hugging Bianka. “We love you @taylorswift ❤️,” she captioned.
As per US Magazine, the 2023 show was a memorable one as Vanessa also honored her late husband with a unique tribute.
On August 3, ahead of Swift's first of six performances at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium, Vanessa revealed her custom jean jacket designed for the occasion.
