As per the source, Vanessa is still in shock and is mourning their loss.

Vanessa last posted a video of herself getting a tattoo to honour both Bryant and Gianna. She is also urging the US Congress to pass the Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant Helicopter Safety Act, which will ensure every helicopter carrying over six people will have necessary safety equipment. Vanessa, along with her daughter Natalia, recently made their Instagram accounts private so they can grieve properly. According to Vanessa's recent Instagram story, their pages were filled with Bryant-Gigi photos, videos and edits, which made it difficult for them to grieve and move on.
