Vanessa Bryant is suing the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department over alleged crash site photos.

According to the Associated Press and USA Today, the lawsuit was filed against L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and his department over photos that Bryant alleges were taken by deputies at the crash site where Kobe Bryant, 13-year-old Gianna Bryant and seven others died following a helicopter accident.

The lawsuit alleges that at least eight sheriff's deputies took photos of the crash site on their personal cellphones. It also claims that at least one deputy trainee showed the photos to someone at a bar and a bartender overheard and filed a written complaint with the sheriff's department.

The lawsuit, which was filed with the Superior Court of California last Thursday, states, "At the moment the deputies snapped photos of Kobe and Gianna's remains, they created a harm that cannot be undone, and the Department's response has only exacerbated that harm."

The lawsuit alleges that Villanueva told the deputies to delete the photos in February, but according to the suit, the sheriff's department did not formally investigate the incident.

The lawsuit also claims that Vanessa Bryant fears the photos will be leaked, and "this uncertainty has caused Mrs. Bryant severe stress.”

Bryant is seeking unspecified damages, including punitive damages, and cited emotional distress, negligence, and invasion of privacy in the suit.

The helicopter crash occurred on Jan. 26.
