Kylie Jenner is covering the funeral costs of her longtime hairstylist Jesus Guerrero, who died at the age of just 34 last Saturday.

Guerrero died ‘suddenly and unexpectedly’ shortly after traveling to Dubai to maintain the mane of his client Jennifer Lopez for her Saadiyat Nights concerts in Abu Dhabi last Thursday and Friday. 

His sister Gris initially set up a GoFundMe for the funeral expenses – but the family has now updated the page to reflect the fact Jenner has stepped in to pay the fees.

‘When this go fund me was set up we created it thinking we would have to take care of all the expenses ourselves,’ they explained in an update posted Tuesday.

‘We didn’t want to burden any clients with this. Our family deeply appreciates Kylie for later offering to cover funeral expenses and offering up all her help and support.’

At that stage, GoFundMe had already raised $96,000, which the family said would ‘go toward the costs ᴀssociated with securing his belongings home,’ among other ‘unexpected expenses to settle his ᴀssets.’

The update noted: ‘With his death being so unexpected there are many things that weren’t set up for a time like this. The next several months will have many hoops we will have to jump through to ensure we honor him in the best way we can. 

‘Our mother will be taking time off to ensure that everything gets taken care of and so that she can greave properly because a mother should never have to bury her child [sic],’ the family concluded the post.

Jenner also shared a montage of pH๏τos reflecting on happy times the pair had shared. 

Jenner will reportedly cover the costs of Guerrero’s funeral.

The star – who first hired Jesus in 2019 – has also been ‘privately working with the family to help transport his body back to his Houston hometown,’ according to TMZ.

A source has revealed: ‘Kylie is grieving. She’s having such a hard time that she is barely eating and talking. She’s not doing well,’ via Us Weekly.

Jenner was said to be ‘beyond devastated,’ and had ‘offered to pay for all of Jesus’s funeral expenses and she is having his body transported to Houston for the funeral.’

Another source described Jenner as ‘completely distraught and heartbroken,’ explaining that ‘Jesus was her number one hairstylist. And they were best friends.’ 

Jenner spent much of her Sunday comforting members of Guerrero’s family, which is why her famous boyfriend Timothée Chalamet took his mother Nicole Flender to the SAG Awards where he won the best actor trophy for A Complete Unknown.

The son of immigrant parents also handled the tresses of celebs like Katy Perry, Rosalía, Demi Moore, Charli xcx, Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, LISA, Jessica Alba, and Shay Mitchell.

Gris released a statement via a GoFundMe page on Saturday night, confirming the pᴀssing of the Texas native who was based in Los Angeles.

Jesus had first began working with Kylie in 2019, but had also reflected on his ‘traumatic’ childhood following his parents’ divorce, and being raised by his beloved great-aunt.

‘My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister,’ she wrote. ‘It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven.

‘Family is not always just ᴀssigned 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. 

‘You were my Anchor, my Rock, in every room we made magic in together. We in sync on a level that only you and I will ever comprehend. 

‘You were a safe haven for me that gave me the push to be the best version of myself in every room we were in together! More than a friend you were my brother.

‘There’s a lot to learn from Jesus, not only his insane talent of which most you have come to know him for, but also his humility, his compᴀssion, his resilience, his drive and love for life and all the Good and happiness that he brought into every room he walked in and every life he impacted with his brilliant soul.
