Los Angeles County wants to know how much the family received from the confidential settlement Vanessa Bryant reached in June in the wrongful death action against the company that operated the helicopter that killed her husband, NBA Hall-of-Famer Kobe Bryant, and daughter Gianna Bryant.
Los Angeles County is responding to an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit filed by Vanessa Bryant after a helicopter crash.
In her suit, Vanessa Bryant alleges that first responders shared photos they took of the aftermath of the crash, which also killed six others, on grounds of negligence and emotional distress. County attorneys say their strategy in pursuing the confidential settlement agreement against Island Express Helicopters is to help them show possible "double-dipping" by Vanessa Bryant for the same harm.
