Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia being stalked by gun-obsessed man who wants “Kobe-like child”: All you need to know

The late Kobe Bryant's eldest daughter, Natalia Bryant, has recently been facing a terrifying situation. TMZ reported that Natalia is currently dealing with a scary stalker who has a criminal record involving guns.

According to sources, she filed for a restraining order against Dwayne Kemp in court on Monday. Natalia revealed that Kemp had been in contact with her for two years now.

Kemp believes they have a romantic relationship, according to Natalia. She also said that she had never met him or spoken to him in any way. She claims that Kemp has done everything in his power to find her and she has been constantly living in terror. Even at her USC sorority house, the stalker made an appearance.

To make things worse, Kemp even threatened Natalia with purchasing an AK-47 and a full-auto Glock if she didn't meet his demands. That's not even the worst part. The stalker went as far as sending a photo of her father, Kobe Bryant, to her while sarcastically thanking the late basketball player in a message.

The message read:

"Thankful For Him Birthing You, Hopefully We Can Birth Him… A Kobe-like-child."

The stalker's messed-up actions aren't only a huge disrespect to the legend's legacy but are also traumatizing one of his beloved daughters.

Thankfully, the LAPD is taking action and will do everything it can to have the restraining order in place. Natalia is requesting that the man be at least 200 yards away from her, her home, her place of employment, her school, her sorority house, and her car.

Kobe Bryant was a loving father to his daughters

Kobe Bryant and his family.

Before his abrupt death in 2020, Kobe Bryant was obviously a loving parent, especially to Gianna. "Mamba" may have been notorious for having a mean attitude on the court, but when it came to his kids, he was the sweetest man.

Bryant always tagged his kids along to games whenever he had the opportunity to do so. Gianna was mostly present given that she was following in her father's footsteps.

But that didn't mean Bryant didn't give his other daughters the same attention. Insider reported that Michael Jordan vouched for how much of a family man "Mamba" was.

Bryant loved spending time with his family so much that he began using a helicopter to make the short trip from an LA Lakers practice to his kids' activities without being caught in LA's congested traffic.

Even Kobe Bryant himself told ESPN reporters in the past just how much he loved his daughters. He also mentioned how he would be willing to raise more of them if he was blessed with the opportunity.

"I would have five more girls if I could," Bryant told ESPN reporter Elle Duncan before the birth of his fourth daughter. "I'm a girl dad."
