Vanessa shared the milestone on Instagram four months after the tragic deaths of Kobe and GiannaCredit: Instagram

Clad in a sweet pink outfit, Capri received a round of applause as she took multiple steps without help and maintained her balance.

Mother-of-four Vanessa could be her cheering, "I'm so proud of you! I knew you were going to do it" as she hugged her youngest child and kissed her cheek following the milestone.

Captioning the video, Vanessa, who is also mother to Natalie, Bianka and late Gianna, penned: "My baby!!!! So proud of my Koko Bean...

"Capri took her first steps from her auntie Sophie to mama today."

Vanessa welcomed Capri last June with her late husband Kobe and called their youngest "our little princess" in an Instagram post at the time.

I'm so proud of you! I knew you were going to do itVenessa Bryant

Basketball legend Kobe, 41, and 13-year-old daughter Gianna 'GiGi' perished in a plane crash in Calabasas, California on January 26 along with seven others.

The other victims of the crash were: 13-year-old Payton Chester, Sarah Chester, 46, 14-year-old Alyssa Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, 46, John Altobelli, 56, and Christina Mauser, 38.

Four months on the grief is still all encompassing for Vanessa as an insider told US Weekly that "no two days are the same for her" as the loss of her husband and daughter is "still unfathomable."

"It’s the heaviest loss a mother and wife could possibly experience," the source added.

Vanessa hit the aircraft's owner, Island Express, with the 72-page lawsuit on the day of his memorial, a month after the deadly crash.

Venessa's post comes after it was revealed Vanessa has inherited a $200million stake in sports drink Bodyarmor bought by the late NBA star for $5million in 2013.

At the time of Bryant's death, he was the fourth-largest shareholder in the company, which is set to surpass $1billion in retail revenue for the first time this year.

Bryant first invested in Bodyarmor in March 2013, parting with $5million to gain a 10 percent stake.

The company was cofounded two years earlier by Smartwater mogul Mike Repole and Fuze Beverage brains Lance Collins, and was aiming to make inroads in a market dominated by Gatorade.

Bryant became an important brand ambassador, taking a seat on the company's board of directors and overseeing its advertising campaigns.

In 2018, the Coca Cola company purchased a minority stake in Bodyarmor in a deal that valued the company at $2billion, making Bryant's share worth at least $200million.

Following the death of Bryant, one of his daughters, and seven others in a helicopter crash in January, widow Vanessa Bryant inherited his stake and assumed his seat on the board of directors.
