Describing her late husband Kobe as "my king", Vanessa Bryant posted a message on social media on Saturday on what would have been the couple's wedding anniversary.

"My king, my heart, my best friend. Happy 19th wedding anniversary baby. I miss you so much. I wish you were here to hold me in your arms. I love you,” she wrote on Instagram to accompany a photo of the couple.

 

Basketball superstar Kobe and one of the couple's daughters, 13-year-old Gianna, were among nine people killed in a helicopter crash in southern California on January 26.

Kobe and Vanessa have three surviving daughters.
