Kobe Bryant’s 19-year-old daughter, Natalia Bryant, is the latest celebrity who has fallen prey to stalking. She has sought help from the Los Angeles Police Department, who reported that the stalker was also armed. They claim that he has been trying to get to Natalia for a while now.
In light of such concerning reports, Natalia has requested a restraining order against the stalker. The judge is yet to provide a ruling on this case. The alleged stalker is a 32-year-old man who goes by the name Dwayne Kemp. In her statements, Natalia claims that Kemp had tried to contact her a few years ago. She was a minor back then and has never met or made contact with Kemp. According to Kobe Bryant’s daughter, Kemp thinks that they are in a romantic relationship.
A “scared” Natalia Bryant is constantly living in fear. Reports indicate that Dwayne Kemp had shown up at both her sorority house and her classes. Kemp is also a convicted criminal, who was allegedly involved in a case about firearms.
Is Natalia, the daughter of Kobe Bryant, in danger?
She told the court, “I do not feel safe”.

To Natalia’s horror, Kemp also started to reach out on social media. He sent her a DM where he shared an image of Kobe Bryant, with a message that he was grateful to Kobe for bringing Natalia into the world. “Hopefully we can birth him…’Kobe'”, he ended with a red heart emoji.
Last month, she received another message from Dwayne Kemp that indicated his love for her and that he wants to talk and make up.
