Vanessa Bryant daughter: Why did Vanessa Bryant turn her Instagram private?

Sydney Leroux and Dom Dwyer's gift was shared a few days after Vanessa and their three daughters spent father's day without Bryant and Gianna. Vanessa, whose Instagram account is now private, had shared a few photos of their family on the occasion, writing to Bryant and telling him that he was the best father in the work. Ever since Bryant's death, Vanessa has constantly posted about Bryant and Gianna on her Instagram account, which includes several artworks and murals dedicated to them.

Vanessa, and her eldest daughter Natalia, recently made their Instagram account private, claiming that it would help them move on easily as countless Bryant and Gianna photos were difficult to look at. Kobe Bryant, Gianna and eve others passed away in a tragic helicopter crash on January 26. Bryant was survived by Vanessa and their three other daughters – Natalia, Capri and Bianka.
