Vanessa seeking justice
Vanessa filed a lawsuit against Island Express in February 2020, alleging that the helicopter firm was responsible for her husband and daughter's deaths in the catastrophic crash.

She stated in her lawsuit that the weather conditions were not suitable for flying. There was an extremely low, blinding fog and the pilot, Ara George Zobayan, failed to properly analyse and monitor the weather before take-off and during the flight.
According to the paperwork filed by Vanessa's legal team, the settlement included the other families' claims as well.

Island Express is also accused of negligence for failing to install a terrain alert system in the helicopter, stated in another section of the case, according to a report by Los Angeles Times.
The system may have alerted Zobayan that he was approaching a ridge. Federal standards for the helicopter did not require the device.

Commemoration tattoos
A couple of months back, TUKO.co.ke reported that Kobe's widow and firstborn daughter Natalia decided to get tattoos in memory of the basketball legend and daughter killed in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020.
On Tuesday, March 23, the two invited one of the most revered tattoo artists, Nikko Hurtado, to get some cool body art that they shared on Instagram.
Vanessa inked the name Mambacita on her forearm, which is a nickname given to the late Gianna due to her basketball talent, like her dad.
Her 18-year-old daughter Natalia got the name Muse inked on her finger, which is Kobe's documentary released back in 2015.
The teen got another tattoo on her wrist, which was not clear in videos shared by Vanessa, but according to the specific hashtags she used, the tat could be the word MambaSheath.
