Revealed: What Really Happened to Kylie Jenner’s Beloved Stylist
Espresso-fueled brain here—brace yourself because this one’s a gut punch! Jesus Guerrero, the glam genius behind Kylie Jenner’s signature hair flips, has tragically passed away, and now the official cause is out. According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s report (via LA Times), Jesus succumbed to a sudden pulmonary embolism after a small blood clot traveled to his lungs. People magazine also confirmed that he collapsed at his Hollywood Hills home on July 5, 2024, where first responders couldn’t revive him. I’m bouncing off the walls just thinking about it—this was the guy who could sculpt a perfect ponytail in five minutes flat!
If you’ve ever scrolled through Kylie’s Instagram, you know how often Jesus’ magic hands showed up in her glam slideshow. His signature braids and voluminous waves were basically legendary. TMZ sources say he had just wrapped a VIP hairstyling session for a high-profile fashion event in West Hollywood, joked about grabbing cold brew afterward, and then—bam—this horrible turn. It’s wild how life flips on a dime, no matter how many Instagram followers you have or how red-hot your client list is.
Friends and fellow artists are reeling. Beauty insider Samantha Topshop (yeah, that’s her real handle) tweeted, “His creativity was the secret sauce for so many looks,” while celeb makeup artist Jordana Michaels shared a throwback selfie with Jesus, captioning it “RIP my hair soulmate.” Kylie, who’s notoriously private about her inner circle, reposted a candle-lit photo of Jesus’ favorite styles and wrote “Forever in our hearts.” Cue the waterworks—this industry is small enough that we all feel it when a star hairstylist goes too soon.
We’ve got to talk about the bigger picture too—there’s been a spike in these rare embolism cases among otherwise healthy 30-somethings, per a new study in the Journal of Vascular Medicine. Experts are urging anyone with unexplained shortness of breath or chest pains to get checked ASAP. Jesus’ family released a statement through his publicist, thanking fans for the outpouring love and asking for privacy as they plan a small, intimate memorial later this month.
I swear, I could talk about this all day—his artistry shaped red carpets, music videos, even Netflix premieres! Now we’ve lost one of the brightest talents and a genuinely warm soul. Whew! That was a LOT to process! I need another shot of espresso before reality sinks in again.
