Kylie Jenner has opened up about the devastating loss of her longtime hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 34. Guerrero’s sudden death occurred last Saturday, leaving friends, family, and the beauty community in shock.
The talented stylist, known for his work with high-profile clients such as Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, and Kylie Jenner herself, died shortly after a trip to Dubai. He had traveled to maintain Lopez’s hair for her Saadiyat Nights concerts in Abu Dhabi, which took place last Thursday and Friday.
Kylie Jenner’s Heartfelt Tribute
On Tuesday, Jenner, 27, took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to Guerrero. She posted a heartfelt message alongside a montage of photos capturing their cherished moments together.
“Jesus was more than my friend—he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,” Jenner wrote. “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.”
Jenner expressed her deep gratitude for Guerrero’s friendship, saying:
“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.”
The reality star also revealed the depth of their bond, sharing how Guerrero had been her confidant during difficult times.
“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,” she added.
Support for Guerrero’s Family
In addition to her public tribute, Jenner has been providing behind-the-scenes support to Guerrero’s family. Reports suggest that she will cover the costs of his funeral and has been assisting with arrangements to bring his body back to his hometown of Houston, Texas.
According to TMZ, Kylie spent much of her Sunday comforting Guerrero’s loved ones. Her devotion to the family was so strong that her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, attended the SAG Awards alone, taking his mother as his date while Kylie remained with Guerrero’s grieving relatives.
A Community in Mourning
Guerrero’s passing has deeply affected not only his family and friends but also the entire beauty and entertainment industry. His sister, Gris, shared the heartbreaking news via a GoFundMe page, stating:
“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.”
The fundraiser, initially set with a goal of $60,000 to cover funeral expenses and other costs, has already surpassed $96,000, showcasing the outpouring of love and support for Guerrero’s family.
A Storied Career in the Beauty Industry

Known for his artistry and humility, Guerrero styled the hair of numerous celebrities, including Katy Perry, Rosalía, Demi Moore, Charli XCX, Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, Lisa (of BLACKPINK), Jessica Alba, and Shay Mitchell.
He built a reputation as a trusted stylist whose talent was only matched by his warm and uplifting personality.
Jenner’s makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, also paid tribute to Guerrero, describing him as a “chosen family member” and a rock in his life.
