Vanessa Bryant receives $16 million in Kobe helicopter crash lawsuit
Photos have invaded their private lives.

Vanessa Bryant and her co-plaintiff, Chris Chester, were awarded $31 million together by a Los Angeles jury, People reported.

The final verdict was handed down late Wednesday afternoon. The jury found that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and the Fire Department (LAFD) shared photos of the bodies of Bryant and Chester’s loved ones and in doing so invaded their privacy and caused emotional distress.

The jury ordered LASD to pay Vanessa $10 million and Chris a total of $9 million. While the LAFD is ordered to pay the pair $6 million each.

The decision coincidentally came on National Kobe Bryant Day , aka Mamba Day, which is a day to honor the late Los Angeles Lakers legend.

The emotional trial ended just hours after the Los Angeles County legal team made its closing arguments.

Attorneys for Vanessa and Chris did not speak outside of court. After the verdict, Mira Hashmall, a partner at the Miller Barondess law firm and the county’s lead outside counsel, thanked the jury for their hard work.

“While we disagree with the jury’s findings of liability for the county, we believe the monetary award shows that the jurors did not believe the evidence supported the plaintiffs’ claims of $75 million for emotional distress,” Hashmall said in a statement provided to People.
