Kylie Jenner is expressing her grief.
Days after it was confirmed The Kardashians star’s longtime hairstylist Jesus Guerrero—who also counted Rosalía, Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa and more as clients—died unexpectedly at the age of 34, she shared a heartfelt note to honor his memory and share what his friendship meant to her.
“Jesus was more than my friend—he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,” Kylie wrote in a Feb. 25 Instagram post, alongside several photos and videos of her and Jesus together over the years. “I don’t know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.”
The 27-year-old—who shares kids Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, with ex Travis Scott—also directed part of her note directly to her late stylist.
“Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend,” Kylie continued. “The pain of losing you is just unbearable and I don’t know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love, and I loved you so much."
She noted, “You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will.”
Kylie emphasized the closeness she felt to her late friend and colleague.
“Your words, your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful spirit will live in my heart forever,” she added. “I’ll cherish all our moments together. every laugh and hug. I wish I could hug you again. I laid in your bed the way you used to lay in mine, talking for hours. I would give anything for one more deep talk. I’m going to miss you so much. more than any words can say. 222 my angel.”
While the Khy founder had taken a few days to share her thoughts on the passing of Jesus, multiple outlets reported earlier this week that she would cover the costs of his funeral and memorial services.
Gris, Jesus’ younger sister had confirmed his death Feb. 22. She did not specify his exact cause of death, but indicated it had been sudden and unexpected.
“It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven,” Gris wrote in a GoFundMe statement. “He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more. Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top.”
