Kylie Jenner has paid tribute to her friend Jesus Guerrero following his death. In a statement shared on Instagram, she said: "Jesus was more than my friend - he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support. 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.
"Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend. 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. You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will.
"Your words, your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful spirit will live in my heart forever. 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.".
Kylie shared twenty photos of herself and Jesus down through the years in the emotional post. The Los Angeles-based hairdresser, 34, also worked with clients including Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez. Guerrero shared a close bond with the youngest Kardashian, who he referred to as his 'main girly' back in January. On Saturday, Jesus' younger sister Gris announced his passing with an emotional post - and revealed the family had set up a GoFundMe page in his honour.
She wrote in her emotional message: "My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister. It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven. 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.
"Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly. Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston. "We hope that you find it in your heart to help in any way and/or share this GoFundMe.".
Jesus had flown out to Paris as part of Kylie's glam team in January for Fashion Week. In between styling the lipkit mogul for shows, Jesus was seen posing for a mirror selfie with his client. Kylie was pictured at the Chanel show and also walked the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier. Just two weeks before that trip he styled Kylie's hair for her Golden Globes appearance. He had also worked with Demi Moore during the current awards season.
On January 7, Kylie 'liked' an image the stylist posted of her Golden Globes hairstyle, which left one fan gushing: "You are KILLING it with her hair recently!!!" Previously, Kylie joked about a haircut from her close pal and quipped on her page: "@jesushair said he was giving me a trim and cut off all my hair.".
Kylie's make-up artist Ariel Tejada, who frequently worked alongside Jesus, posted a lengthy tribute on Instagram, telling his followers that they had experienced 'the most painful, breath taking pain I have ever felt when I found out you left us.'.
