Vanessa Bryant, the mother of Gianna Bryant, has filed a lawsuit against eight Los Angeles County employees for sharing photos of her late daughter and husband, Kobe Bryant, with their friends.
Seven other people, including Gianna and Kobe Bryant, perished in a Calabasas helicopter crash in January 2020.
