During the trial, Bryant’s legal team alleged she had suffered emotional distress from several employees of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department and Fire Department sharing photos from the crash site, including pictures of the bodies of her husband and daughter.
The majority of the money came from the Sheriff’s Department, as the jury found the department had an established practice of sharing such photos.
Mrs Bryant’s husband Kobe Bryant, 41, daughter Gianna, 13, and six family friends died when their helicopter crashed in California in January 2020.
