Kylie Jenner is sharing a new tribute to her friend Jesus Guerrero on the one year anniversary of the hairstylist’s untimely death at 34.
“222. I miss you,” Jenner, 28, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, February 22, over a black-and-white picture of Guerrero styling Jenner’s hair while she snapped a mirror selfie.
Guerrero’s sister Gris Guerrero confirmed the late stylist’s death on February 22, 2025, after she set up a GoFundMe page to cover the celebrity hairstylist’s funeral expenses. (In addition to Jenner, Jesus worked with numerous Hollywood stars including Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez.)
“My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister,” Gris wrote in the fund’s description. “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.”
Jenner took to social media shortly after news broke to honor her stylist and late friend, calling him “a light in my life.”
“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,” Jenner wrote via Instagram at the time. “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.”
She continued, “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.”
Days later, People reported that the Kardashians star was covering the cost of her late friend’s funeral. “As upset as she feels, she knows it’s so much worse for his family,” a source told the outlet. “She doesn’t want them to stress about money. She’s taking care of expenses, including those associated with his funeral.”
Jenner attended the stylist’s funeral on March 30, 2025. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Gris praised Jenner and Lopez, who also attended the funeral, for their support following her brother’s untimely death.
“[Kylie] has told us anything we need. Jesus was family to her, and she was family to him,” Gris told Us. “She has kept an open line. Anything we need, any questions we have, she has been there for us. She wants his memory to be honored and wants to do as much as she can so he gets the farewell he deserves.”
