A wall painting dedicated to the fire Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, in downtown Los Angeles, was only vandalized a few days before the explosion of the city in riots about the illegal immigration raids of the Trump administration.
The works of art “Mambas Forever” have shown that the members of the family of the late Bryant were kissing. White aerosol painting was used to undo the room, according to Fox 11 Los Angeles.

The mural is located in the fashion district of the city center of Los Angeles, about 20 miles from Paramount, where the riots took place for several days.
The work had just been restored on May 30 after being initially degraded in April. The star of Lakers, Luka Doncic, helped pay the restoration of the mural at the time.
It took weeks for the mural to be restored. The artist Louise Palsino celebrated the restoration just a few days ago in an article on Instagram.
“Completely restored Kobe and Gigi Mural, all thanks to @Lukadoncic and to all those who made a donation to Go Fund Me,” he wrote. “It’s great to see how a bad situation can bring together so many people to bring something bigger. There were so many people who had presented themselves to help and it was very appreciated. I really felt that Los Angeles loved it.”
No suspects have been appointed. We do not know if the wall will be restored for the second time.
