Last month, Vanessa took to the site with a shot of an acceptance letter to the University of Oregon Natalia received.

The acceptance letter read, ‘Congratulations! It is a pleasure to offer you admission to the University of Oregon class of 2025. Your hard work and achievements have paid off, and I know you will make invaluable contributions to our campus community.’

In January, she shared a shot of Natalia donning a New York University top, noting that she was pulling for her to stay on the West Coast.

Vanessa wrote: ‘@nataliabryant chose not to apply ED to her top 5 schools. I will do my best to keep her in Cali just like I kept her daddy here,’ she wrote, adding the hashtag, #CaliGirlForever.

After Natalia turned 18 this past January, Vanessa paid a special birthday tribute to her oldest daughter, nearly a year after her father Kobe Bryant, 41, and sister Gigi Bryant, 13, perished in a helicopter crash.

‘You have displayed so much strength and grace throughout the most difficult year of our lives,’ said Vanessa, who is also mother to daughters Bianka, four, and Capri, 20 months. ‘Thank you for stepping in to help me with your little sisters.’

Kobe and Gigi died with seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on January 26, 2020. Also killed in the crash were pilot Ara Zobayan, 50, Payton Chester, 13, Sarah Chester, 46, Alyssa Altobelli, 14, Keri Altobelli, 46, John Altobelli, 56, and Christina Mauser, 38.
