Vanessa Bryant and daughter Natalia Bryant have revealed their reasons on blocking fan pages, as it makes it hard for them to deal with their loss.

Vanessa posted on her Instagram story saying, 

"Thank you so much for all the [love], @nataliabryant and I have unfortunately had to block fan pages because it’s been really hard to go online and constantly see pics of our beloved Gigi and Kobe under every single square of our explore pages,” Blocking the fan pages has helped change the alogrithm, We [love] you all but please understand that we had to do this for our own healing not because we don’t appreciate your [love]. xo,” 

Natalie Bryant posted something similar on her IG story  "Thank you so much for all the love and support. Many of you have noticed the recent switch to a private account, My mom and I have had to unfortunately block fan pages because they keep reposting our pics. This makes it 10x harder to deal with our loss, We hope that people understand that although these fan pages have good intentions, they make moving forward harder since they are constant reminders. Blocking the accounts have helped change the algorithm but we can not go public until the fan pages stop, We love all of your sweet intentions and we hope you understand. Always, Natalia,” she concluded.


Natalie and her 3 daughters lost Giana "GiGi" and Kobe Bryant back in January to a helicopter crash alongside 7 others on board. The tragic passing of Kobe and Gigi took the world by storm.
