Various celebrities and friends wished Beyoncé the best on her birthday, including Vanessa Bryant, who shared a selfie of the two. The image shows them smiling brightly, with Bryant adding a "Happy Birthday" sticker in the corner of the post. 

Beyoncé and Bryant's friendship dates back years, with the two often spending time together at awards shows and other industry events. Bryant and her daughter Natalia attended Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour. There are also plenty of photos taken years before that show the two women alongside their partners, Jay-Z and Kobe Bryant.

Following Bryant's tragic accident that resulted in his and his daughter's death, Beyoncé performed two touching tributes of "XO" and "Halo" in memory of Gianna.
