Three days after NBA legend Kobe Bryant tragically passed away in a helicopter accident with his daughter and seven others, Beyonce has broken her silence.

The 38 year old singer shared three photos on Instagram, a childhood shot of Kobe, a shot of his late daughter Gianna, and a shot of them together sitting courtside at a Lakers game.

'I will continue to diligently pray for your Queens. You are deeply missed beloved Kobe,' Beyonce said in the caption of the courtside shot.
