In addition to the settlement update, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant's two youngest daughters, Capri and Bianka, will be added as plaintiffs in the case.
The latest development comes months after the jury sided with the Bryant estate in the lawsuit against LA County and the county's Sheriff's Department. At the time of the Aug. 2022 ruling, the jurors had ordered the county to pay Vanessa Bryantover the first responders taking and sharing photos from the 2020 helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, the couple's 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others.
Also at the time of the Aug. 2022 ruling, the county was also ordered to pay Vanessa Bryant's co-plaintiff Chris Chester $15 million in damages. Chester lost his wife Sarah and the couple's 13-year-old daughter Payton in the Jan. 2020 helicopter crash.
