Vanessa Bryant and her three daughters Natalia, 18, Bianka Bella, 4, and Capri Kobe, traveled to Philadelphia to visit Kobe Bryant’s childhood home during Father’s Day.
Bryant shared a carousel, including a new photo of the foursome, a throwback photo of Kobe as a teen, and her red nail design with “KOBE” spelled out in gold.

Ahead of Father’s Day, the former model also visited a new mural honoring her husband and late daughter Gigi Bryant. Philadelphia artist Ernel Martinez painted the art in one of the two new basketball courts built on behalf of Kobe and Gianna.
