Vanessa Bryant has agreed to a nearly $29 million settlement in her lawsuit with L.A. County over photographs of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed her husband, NBA star Kobe Bryant, and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna

, saying she suffered severe emotional distress when she learned that multiple first responders had snapped and shared unauthorized photos of the crash scene using their personal devices. Her claim was later consolidated with a similar suit from Chris Chester, an Orange County financial adviser who lost his wife Sarah, 45, and the couple’s 13-year-old daughter, Payton, in the tragedy.

Chester was also awarded $15 million, in addition to $4.95 million to settle any future claims. In total, the county settled more than $51 million over the photo lawsuit, including $1.25 million each in October 2021 for two other families that lost loved ones in the same helicopter crash.
