Vanessa Bryant has had messages from her husband, the late Kobe Bryant and their daughter, Gianna, turned into tattoos.

41-year-old Kobe was traveling on a helicopter over Calabasas, California, with Gianna when it crashed, killing them and seven others on the 26th of January.

The group was traveling to Camarillo Airport in Ventura County for a basketball game at Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks.

The 38-year-old took to Instagram to share clips of herself being inked on her neck and wrist.

"I wanted my boo boo’s @kobebryant sweet message transferred on me. @nikkohurtado came through for me. Thank you!" she captioned the post.

In the video, Vanessa can be seen facing the camera as the tattoo artist begins work on the new inking. In another video, she added: "Shoutout to @nikkohurtado for coming over and helping me get my Gigi’s sweet message transferred on me. So happy I can see my Gigi’s handwriting everyday [sic]."

This comes after it was reported that Vanessa will be taking action against a California-based helicopter company for "extensive" damages, following the death of Kobe and Gianna.

Per PEOPLE magazine, which claims they have seen legal documents, the specific amount that Vanessa is seeking has not been specified, but the report details that "hundreds of millions" have been lost by the family in future earnings.

According to AP, Vanessa - who was married to the American professional basketball player for almost 20 years - first filed the wrongful death lawsuit against Island Express Helicopters Inc back in February.

"As a result of Kobe Bryant's and GB's deaths, Vanessa Bryant seeks economic damages, non-economic damages, prejudgment interest, punitive damages, and other relief as the Court deems just and proper," the documents read, according to PEOPLE.

"Although the total specific amount of personal injury damages that Plaintiff seeks is TBD, Kobe Bryant's future lost earnings equal hundreds of millions of dollars," the document purportedly adds.

The lawsuit, Island Express Helicopters Inc, was filed at Los Angeles Superior Court, and alleged that the pilot was careless and negligent in eight different ways. A postmortem examination found that all nine victims died of blunt force trauma.

The 50-year-old pilot, Ara, tested negative for drugs and alcohol.

It has not yet been determined what caused the crash.

Alyssa Altobelli, John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, and Christina Mauser, also died alongside Kobe, Gianna, and Ara.
