Just one day before Kobe Bryant would meet his untimely demise, he would spent some quality time with his three-year-old daughter, Bianka.
A new video shows the father/daughter duo enjoying an outing at the Fashion Island mall in Newport Beach on Jan. 25th. That was just the evening before Kobe’s death.
In the footage, you can see Kobe keeping an eye on the toddler as she watches some other kids playing in the mall.
The Bryant family frequented the mall and other Newport Beach spots, so this was just a normal outing for the family, according to TMZ.
Sadly, this would be the final time Bianka would share such a moment with her father as he likely woke up that morning, said his goodbyes, and had no clue he and Gianna would not be returning home ever again.

The group was headed to a basketball game at Kobe’s Mamba Academy, and foggy weather conditions are expected to have been a main factor in the accident.
Nine people in total were killed in the helicopter crash on Jan. 26. The other victims were two of Gianna’s teammates and their parents (Alyssa Altobelli, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Sarah Chester and Payton Chester), a basketball coach (Christina Mauser) and the helicopter pilot, Ara Zobayan.
