The unexpected death of Kylie Jenner’s longtime hairstylist and friend, Jesus Guerrero, has taken a toll on the reality star.
“sleeping has been the hardest,” Jenner, 27, revealed via an Instagram Story Friday alongside a screenshot that showed she had been on the phone with makeup artist Ariel Tejada for over seven hours.
She then added, “I love you @makeupbyariel” with a hugging emoji beside the sweet message.
In an additional Instagram Story, Jenner reminisced on the happy moments she shared with Guerrero.
The Kylie Cosmetics CEO posted a video of her and the late stylist jamming to Leon Bridges’ “River.”
Guerrero died “very suddenly,” his sister, Gris Guerrero, revealed via a GoFundMe earlier this week. He was only 34 years old.
A cause of death was not immediately known, and Gris shared with Us Weekly Tuesday that their family was still searching for answers.
She said Jesus’ loved ones had “been able to track every one of his steps, but … don’t know what got him sick or what was [the] sickness,” adding, “It all happened suddenly, and no one knows why.”
The celebrity hairstylist was on a business trip with Jennifer Lopez shortly before he passed away.
The “Let’s Get Loud” singer, 55, did not mention Jesus had been dealing with health issues in her tribute.
“The truth is I’m still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end,” Lopez wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of Jesus via Instagram.
“I’m still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end. It seems senseless and unfair.”
Jenner, for her part, also shared a very emotional statement, honoring the loss of her close confidant.
“Jesus was more than my friend – he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,” she captioned a slideshow on Instagram filled with memories they shared.
“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 “Kardashians” star admitted that the pain of losing Jesus had been “just unbearable,” adding, “i don’t know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love.”
She continued, “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.”
Jenner skipped supporting her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, at the SAG Awards last Sunday as she mourned the loss of Jesus.
It was revealed earlier this week that the billionaire will reportedly cover all of her friend’s funeral costs.
