Beyonc remembered the late Kobe Bryant with a series of poignant Instagram posts on Wednesday.

I will continue to diligently pray for your Queens. You are deeply missed Kobe, the singer wrote in honor of the Los Angeles Lakers great who was killed with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven others in a helicopter crash on Sunday.

Beyonc shared this picture of her longtime friend who rapped on a remix of the Destinys Child 1999 hit Say My Name and appeared in its music video for Bug A Boo the same year as a youngster.
