There were several supporters of the Bryant family on social media that were struggling to accept the fact that this helicopter crash had taken place more than two weeks ago. They still couldn't believe that Bryant, Gianna, and the other victims were gone.

"We are praying for you and everyone involved in this massive tragedy. Still can't accept they're gone," another user added on Monday.

​

"We will all continue to lift you up in prayers. Your strength and courage is inspiring," another supporter of Vanessa added in the comments.

There were several users on social media that reached out to Vanessa on Monday to let her know that she and her daughters were in their hearts. They were offering support and praying for healing.

​

"Sending prayers and love every day to you, Natalia, Bianka and Capri. Everyday in my prayers and heart !" Jordan Cohen wrote on Instagram.

The real estate agent was very close to the Bryant family and shared several stories about them on the day of the helicopter crash. This involved a tale about Bryant opening Staples Center an hour early so he could host a birthday party for Cohen's son.

​

"Keep strong..may the Lord strengthen you...I lost my dad and gradma last year..an i cant imagine what you are going through. Praying for you," one fan commented in response to the post.

There were several fans that commented to show their support while also explaining that they can't imagine the pain that Vanessa feels. They have lost loved ones in their lives, but this incident was completely different.
