Vanessa Bryant┬аis one proud momma!

Natalia Bryant graduated from Sage Hill High School on Friday, and her family couldnтАЩt have been happier. The late Kobe BryantтАЩs wife took to Instagram to share video of her eldest daughterтАЩs name being called as she took the stage in her cap and gown and received her diploma.

тАЬCongratulations Natalia! We will ALL be with you every step of the way. ??тАН???тЭдя╕П? @nataliabryant,тАЭ Vanessa captioned the video, which includes her cheering Natalia on. The 18-year-old is┬аexpected to attend USC in Los Angeles in the fall.

Before Natalia got her diploma, Vanessa shared a photo of her daughter wearing her cap and gown.

She also shared a close up of NataliaтАЩs cap, which included a tribute to her late father and sister, Kobe and Gianna. The USC-themed cap includes a K and G.

тАЬDaddy, Mommy, Gigi, Bianka and Capri are so proud of you @nataliabryant!!! тЭдя╕П,тАЭ Vanessa wrote.

Vanessa also posted a video of an employee at Sage Hill School giving Natalia the schoolтАЩs Compassion award. тАЬThis made me tear up. Mommy and daddy are so proud of you @nataliabryant,тАЭ Vanessa wrote alongside the video.

Last month, Natalia attended her senior prom and wore a┬аstunning pink tulle dress. She┬аaccessorized the dress with a rose-filled corsage and light pink sandals.

Vanessa re-posted┬аmoments from her daughterтАЩs big night, which coincided with KobeтАЩs NBA Hall of Fame induction. While┬аNatalia wasnтАЩt able to attend her dadтАЩs induction ceremony, she still flew to the east coast to take part in the┬аTip-Off Celebration and Awards Gala┬аon the night of May 14, before heading back to Los Angeles the following morning to make it to her prom night. Vanessa marked the milestone moment for her daughter and shared the importance of making sure Natalia made it to her prom.

тАЬNatalia almost missed her senior prom last night. When I was a senior in high school, Kobe and I were engaged and he had a playoff game the night of my prom. Kobe didnтАЩt want me going to prom without him and I didnтАЩt want to go without him. When we heard NataliaтАЩs prom night and KobeтАЩs Hall of Fame night were on the same night, I looked at Natalia and said, тАШWell if itтАЩs any consolation, daddy kept me from going to my prom, so itтАЩs only right that he tried to keep you from going to yours,’тАЭ Vanessa wrote on Instagram.

Despite it being the NBA legendтАЩs big night, Vanessa didnтАЩt want her daughter to miss out on the тАЬonce in a lifetimeтАЭ opportunity.
