She wrote, “RIP Kobe. 24 years ago, ironically, Kobe was my next-door neighbor in Pacific Palisades in LA. Both young and ambitious. We met the day he moved in through his dog, that started to and continued to wander into my garden. His basketball court was my view. I watched his talent and dedication, yet how could I have known that he was to become what he became. Tragic news today. Being a Daddy today took his life and that of his precious daughter. Unimaginable loss to all. Love to the families. #24forkobe 🙏🏻😢”

    Kobe’s death was such a rude awakening to everyone, far and near. I never lived near him but I was deeply inspired by his work ethics and personality. He would forever be remember in and out of the court.
