Kim Kardashian has honored the memory of the late celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero.
Following the announcement of the 34-year-old’s tragic passing on Saturday, February 22, his sister Gris Guerrero later confirmed his death that same day and initiated a GoFundMe page. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
In a heartfelt tribute shared through her Instagram Story on Monday, February 24, Kardashian, 44, expressed her emotions in a heartfelt message. “Our glam fam means the world to us. We work together, vacation, and celebrate our lives together!” she wrote, accompanied by a group photo of the Kardashian-Jenner family with Guerrero and their beauty team, taken behind the scenes at a promotional shoot for the first season of The Kardashians, before its debut on Hulu in April 2022.
Kardashian elaborated: “Our deep appreciation for the artistry in hair and [makeup] has introduced us to some of the kindest individuals and forged some of our most cherished friendships. So when we lose a member of our glam family, it feels as if all of our souls are shattered.”

Kardashian’s words surely resonated with her younger sisters, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner. In various photographs shared by the stylist, it’s evident that Kylie collaborated with Guerrero more recently, as seen in images of Kylie prior to the 2025 Golden Globes in January.
Kardashian reaffirmed this sentiment in her statement on Monday: “My heart aches for Kylie and everyone who cherished Jesus as deeply as we did. I’m keeping his family, loved ones, and the entire beauty community in my prayers as we mourn such a significant loss of one of the most talented and kind-hearted individuals to ever grace this industry!”
She closed her message with: “Rest in peace @jesushair” followed by a white dove emoji.
Guerrero’s Instagram showcases not only his long-standing relationship with the Kardashian-Jenner family but also the wealth of unforgettable beauty moments he curated — from Kylie, 27, and her spiked updo at the 2024 CFDA Awards to Kim’s inaugural Skims campaign in 2019 featuring waist-length extensions and nude bodysuits that helped launch her shapewear brand.
Guerrero’s roster of celebrity clients extends beyond the Kardashians, including Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Katy Perry, and many others — numerous stars have taken to social media to share their heartfelt tributes to him.
