Kobe Bryant's wife Vanessa changes Instagram profile days after his tragic death

Vanessa Bryant, the widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, has updated her Instagram account four days after Kobe, 41, and their daughter Gianna, 13, tragically died in a helicopter crash.

Vanessa, 37, changed her profile photo to a picture of Kobe embracing Gianna.

The father and daughter and seven others died when their helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, California, on January 26 (local time). 

Kobe and Vanessa also shared daughters Natalia, 17, Bianka, three, and Capri, seven months.

The last photo she shared to the social media site was on Saturday, January 25, the day before the horrific accident, a candid photo of their second-youngest daughter Bianka using a dining chair to climb up to the refrigerator to sneak a juice box.

Tributes for the Bryants and other victims lost in the crash have poured in from around the world. The sports great played all 20 years of his basketball career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and led the team to five NBA championships. He also represented the United States at the Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Olympic games, bringing home two gold medals.

Bryant was also an Oscar-winning film producer and sports storyteller and a world-class philanthropist who supported numerous charities throughout his life and career.
