Yes, Natalia Bryant, known as an American model, is the biological daughter of the late American professional basketball player Kobe Bryant, who spent his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  Her mother is Vanessa Bryant, who is a Mexican national.

She is the oldest daughter of the late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, who was African American.

Natalia has faced horrifying tragedy in her life as her 41-year-old father Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna Bryant were killed in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, California, on January 26, 2020, when she was just a teenager.

Natalia, who is a college student at the University of Southern California, is a professional model in the USA.

She works to respect her father’s and sister’s memories since their deaths, and she attended a commemorative ceremony for her father in March 2023.

The rising model gained her graduation from Sage Hill High School in 2021 and was captain of the varsity volleyball team at the high school.

Natalia hurled the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers’ annual “Lakers Night” in September 2023.

She honoured her father by wearing a Dodgers jersey. The jersey was embroidered with his Lakers numbers.

During her interview with Town & Country in January last year, Natalia spoke about the importance of her father’s legacy.
