Kim and Khloé Kardashian’s ‘souls are crushed’ as they pay tribute to beloved hairstylist
'This is such an incredible deep loss'
Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and many of their close friends and family are sadly mourning the loss of Jesus Guerrero this February. The celebrity hairstylist’s passing was confirmed by his younger sister via a GoFundMe page. Gris Guerrero confirms her brother has “gone to heaven.” She writes: “Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly.”
Kardashians’ glam team leads tributes
Anyone who follows the Kar-Jenners will know how close they grow to their glam squad.
They work with them day and night and travel all over the world together.
Jesus appears to have been super close to celebrity makeup artist Ariel Tejada who leads the heartfelt tributes this February.
Following the tragic news of Jesus’ untimely death, Ariel took to Instagram to share a post.
He wrote on February 23: “2.22 one of God’s most Beautiful Angels has just opened his wings and flew to join him in heaven and watch over me.
“Last night I experienced the most painful, breathtaking pain I have ever felt when I found out you left us @jesushair.”
Ariel continues: “Family is not always just assigned at birth sometimes they are chosen and you were my chosen family. I told you this many times before, I don’t know how I could have done the past 10 years of this whole journey without you, to which you would always reply saying “I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else” and now that you’re gone I’m unsure how I will continue the same without you.”
The MUA describes his late friend as his “anchor and rock.”
He adds: “More than a friend you were my brother… I’ll see you later, ’cause I can’t say Goodbye…”
Khloé Kardashian’s MUA ‘lost her best friend’
As well as Ariel, Jesus had close friendships with more of the Kar-Jenners’ glam team.
Ash Kholm, who writes of doing Khloé’s makeup back in the day, shares how Jesus was more than just a celebrity hairstylist.
Taking to IG, she writes: “I lost a best friend. A legend.
“Most will remember Jesus as a brilliant celebrity hairstylist—one of the greatest to ever do it. But to me, he was so much more. He was a friend who believed in me before the world did, who supported me long before either of us made it to LA.”
She adds: “When I finally moved and got to do Khloé Kardashian’s makeup, I immediately pitched Jesus to do her hair. That’s the kind of friendship we had—always lifting each other up, always making sure the other had a seat at the table.”
Kim, Khloé and Kris post tributes to Jesus Guerrero
Following Ariel’s post, more people close to Jesus began sharing tributes online.
Kim Kardashian shared a group photograph of her family with their glam team, and wrote a lengthy caption.
Khloé shared the same post to her Stories and added: “I couldn’t find the words this weekend but this is exactly how we all feel. We become a family with our glam teams, and we share so much of our lives with them. We are also intertwined and in love with one another. This is such an incredible deep loss.”
Kris Jenner also shared Kim’s post to her IG Stories and added a heartbroken emoji.
Kylie hasn’t posted on social media at the time of writing. She wasn’t in attendance at the SAG Awards which saw her partner, Timothée Chalamet collect an award.
She is reportedly paying the cost of Jesus’ funeral arrangements.
