Kylie Jenner Steps Up: Covers Funeral Costs for Beloved Hairstylist Jesus Guerrero
In a heartfelt twist of fate, Kylie Jenner has come to the rescue after the untimely death of her close friend and celebrity hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero. Known for his magic touch with tresses, Guerrero passed away suddenly on February 23 at just 34 years old, leaving behind a void not just in the salon but in the hearts of his many famous clients, including Jennifer Lopez and various Kardashians.
To honor his memory, Guerrero’s family launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral costs and transport his belongings back to Houston. Initially expecting to shoulder the financial burden themselves, they were touched when Kylie stepped up, offering to cover the funeral expenses. A GoFundMe update expressed their deep gratitude, noting that the $96,000 already raised would instead assist with settling Guerrero’s assets and returning his belongings home. It’s clear that the shock of his sudden death has hit his family hard, with his mother taking time off to navigate the complex grief of losing a child.
The reactions from Hollywood have been swift and emotional. Jenner shared her heartbreak on Instagram, stating, “Jesus was more than my friend – he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support.” Jennifer Lopez echoed this sentiment, sharing her disbelief and overwhelming sadness at the loss of someone so vibrant. Their emotional tributes underline the close-knit bond they shared with Jesus, who was always behind the scenes making the stars shine even brighter.
It’s a bittersweet reminder of how life can change in an instant and how vital it is for those with means to lend a hand. Guerrero’s legacy will live on not only through the many clients he styled—or as social media might say, glammed—like Dua Lipa and BLACKPINK’s Lisa, but also through the tangible acts of love from those he touched. Despite the fame surrounding them, moments like this remind us of the human side of the celebrity world, where friendship and support take center stage.
