Vanessa Bryant has managed to push on in the face of an exceptionally painful 2020, but her fans are supporting her every step of the way, and reminding her that Kobe would be so proud.

Kobe Bryant's wife shared several family snaps of her and her daughters Natalia, 17, and Bianka, four, along with singer Ciara and her children, Future, six, and Sienna, three, all out for some fun in the snow.

In one of Vanessa's posts, she showed little Bianka and "auntie" Ciara enjoying a snow tube ride down a snowy hill and captioned it "B.B. and auntie C". Fans comments poured in. One touchingly wrote: "Kobe would be so proud of his family! Continue to watch over us Mamba!"

Vanessa is moving through a year of firsts without her love Kobe Bryant and her eldest daughter Gianna, following a horrific helicopter crash that took their lives in January.
