Los Angeles County will have to pay Kobe Bryant's family 28.85 million dollars as part of the lawsuit against the officers and firefighters who came to the scene and shared photos of the helicopter crash, which happened in January 2020 and killed the former basketball player, his daughter Gianna and seven other people.

"Today marks the successful end of Ms. Bryant's valiant battle to hold accountable those who engaged in this grotesque conduct. She fought for her husband, her daughter and all those in the community whose deceased family was treated with similar disrespect," said Luis Li, Vanessa Bryant's lawyer, in a statement, quoted by the "Mai Futebol" portal.

Mira Hashmall, the lawyer representing Los Angeles County, told the LA Times that the settlement was "fair and reasonable".

Vanessa Bryant had sued the county after police officers and members of the fire department made copies and shared images of the accident outside the scope of the investigation. The photos were even shared in a bar.
