Vanessa Bryant repaid Kobe Bryant‘s sister for babysitting services by buying her a Tesla.
Vanessa surprised her sister-in-law, Sharia Washington, with a brand new Tesla.
She captioned an Instagram post, “Surprise @shariawash! We love you!!! Tesla Tunnel, here she comes!! Vegas to Cali.”
Vanessa shared a video of the surprise. “Is that my bestie in a Tessie?” Vanessa said, quoting a lyric from Saweetie and Doja Cat‘s hit song “Best Friend.”
“You like your car?” she asked Sharia, who replied by excitedly screaming for the camera.
“So overwhelmed!” Sharia wrote on her Instagram Story. “Thank you so much V!”
Vanessa is appreciate of her sister-in-law’s help with her minor children after Kobe and their daughter, Gianna, 13, were killed in a tragic helicopter crash last January.
In March, she told PEOPLE that her “strong, resilient, respectful and kind” daughters Natalia, 18, Bianka, 4, and Capri, 1, played important role in helping her grieve.
“Helping my girls navigate through this heartache is important to me,” she told PEOPLE. “Making sure that they know that they are loved, supported and important is what motivates me.”
Vanessa will need Sharia’s help even more now that Natalia has gone off to college.
