Still can't believe we lost the legendary Kobe Bryant two years ago, it seems so unreal😔💔

Los Angeles celebrates the legacy of Kobe every year on August 24th, which are the two numbers the "Black Mamba" wore while playing with the Lakers. Today many celebrities along with his wife Vanessa Bryant, took to social media to pay their respects to Kobe and express what his presence meant to them.

Also today at sunset, the Santa Monica Pier Ferris wheel will light up in purple and gold colors along with the numbers "8" and "24."
