Vanessa Bryant and her co-plaintiff, Chris Chester, have been a combined awarded $31 million by a Los Angeles jury.

The final verdict was reached late Wednesday afternoon with the jury finding Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) and Fire Department (LAFD) did share photos of the bodies of Bryant and Chris' loved ones and in doing so invaded their privacy and caused emotional distress.

The jury ordered the LASD to pay Vanessa $10 million and to pay Chris a total of $9 million. While the LAFD is ordered to pay the pair $6 million each.

The decision came down coincidentally on Kobe Bryant Day aka Mamba Day which is a day honoring the late Los Angeles Lakers legend whose jersey numbers #8 and #24 day.
