It’s evident that his impact on the beauty world—and on those who knew him—was substantial.
While Kylie has kept a low profile regarding her emotions about Guerrero’s death, a joyful Instagram photo shared just days before his passing showcases their close bond, with Kylie resting her head on his shoulder. Kim Kardashian also expressed her grief over the loss, acknowledging how intertwined their lives and work have become within the glam squad, stating, “Our glam fam means the world to us.” The sentiment was echoed across social media by fellow artists and friends, who expressed their heartbreak and paid tribute to Jesus.
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and makeup artist Jen Atkin were among those who shared their memories of Guerrero online, calling him not only incredibly talented but also an inspiration.
