Kylie Covers Funeral Costs for Late Hairstylist

BBG News

Kylie Jenner is taking care of the burial expenses for her long-term hairdresser, Jesus Guerrero, who tragically passed away at only 34 years old last Saturday.

Guerrero passed away all of a sudden and unforeseen, just a short while after visiting Dubai to style Jennifer Lopez’s hair for her performances at the Saadiyat Nights concerts in Abu Dhabi on Thursday and Friday.

Initially, his sister Gris established a GoFundMe for funeral costs; however, the family has since revised the page to show that Jenner is the one who will cover the expenses.

In a recent update, they clarified that when they established this GoFundMe page, they initially assumed they’d need to cover all the costs themselves.

Rather than placing the responsibility on our clients, we chose not to involve them in this matter. We are profoundly grateful that Kylie generously agreed to pay for the funeral costs and provided her assistance and support later on.

By then, GoFundMe had amassed $96,000. This amount was intended, according to the family, to cover various costs related to safeguarding his possessions and their home, as well as unforeseen expenditures for managing his estate.

The announcement mentioned: ‘Given how sudden his passing was, there are numerous aspects left unorganized for such an occasion. Over the coming months, we’ll need to navigate various obstacles to pay tribute to him appropriately.’

The family expressed, in their post, that their mother will temporarily step away to handle matters diligently and allow herself ample time for grieving, as no mother should be forced to mourn her own child.

On Tuesday, Jenner finally spoke out about Guerrero’s passing, expressing through Instagram: “Jesus was not just my friend; he was a shining beacon in my life, a fountain of laughter, solace, affection, and unyielding encouragement.

I can’t imagine how I would have coped during the past near decade without him beside me. His unique ability to make difficult days seem less burdensome has been invaluable.

‘Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend. 

Experiencing life without your presence seems almost impossible, as the anguish of your absence is overwhelming. Yet, I understand that profound sorrow arises from deep love, and my affection for you was immense. You were exceptional, your talent surpassing many, a genuine artist in every sense. Your influence will continue to inspire countless others.

The essence of your words, your giggles, your generosity, and your radiant soul will remain etched within my heart for eternity. I’ll hold dear each moment we shared, every laughter and embrace. If only I could give you another warm hug.

I adopted your sleeping position, as you often did in my bed, chatting endlessly. Oh, how I yearn for another heartfelt conversation. I’ll deeply miss you, far beyond what words can express. See you later, my guardian angel.

Jenner also shared a montage of photos reflecting on happy times the pair had shared. 

Jenner will reportedly cover the costs of Guerrero’s funeral.

The individual who initially employed Jesus in 2019 is reportedly also making private arrangements to facilitate the transportation of his remains back to his native Houston, as per TMZ’s report.

According to a recent report in Us Weekly, Kylie Jenner is struggling greatly. She’s found it so tough that she’s hardly eating or speaking, indicating her state isn’t good at the moment.

Jenner was reportedly “extremely heartbroken,” and has “volunteered to cover all costs associated with Jesus’s funeral” and is arranging for his body to be transferred to Houston for the service.

The source portrayed Jenner as utterly devastated and deeply saddened, revealing that Jesus was not only her preferred hairstylist but also a close friend.

On Sunday, Jenner primarily tended to members of Guerrero’s family, hence Timothée Chalamet attended the SAG Awards with his mom, Nicole Flender. At the event, he received the best actor award for A Complete Unknown.

In a more casual and straightforward rephrasing: This individual, who is the child of immigrants, has styled the hair of well-known personalities such as Katy Perry, Rosalía, Demi Moore, Charli XCX, Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, BLACKPINK’s LISA, Jessica Alba, and Shay Mitchell.

It was shared on social media that his 34-year-old sister, Gris, reported Jesus’ sudden and unexpected passing. However, the specific reason behind his death remains undisclosed at this time.

On Saturday evening, Gris posted an update on a GoFundMe page, announcing the death of the individual, born and raised in Texas, who resided in Los Angeles.

Jesus started collaborating with Kylie back in 2019, yet he also took time to ponder over his challenging childhood experiences, which included the impact of his parents’ separation and being nurtured by his cherished great-aunt.

She wrote, ‘I am Gris, Jesus’ younger sibling. With great sadness, we share the news that Jesus Guerrero has ascended to heaven.’

‘He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more.’

Raised in Houston, Texas by immigrant parents, Jesus acquired a strong work ethic and harbored aspirations of utilizing his talents to reach great heights.

Sadly, his death occurred quite abruptly and without warning. At present, his relatives are managing his possessions and making arrangements to transport him back to Houston for a funeral.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m genuinely moved by the cause I’ve come across on GoFundMe. It’s heartening to see that we’re already over our initial goal of $60,000, with an incredible $96,000 currently raised so far. If you feel compelled, your assistance in any capacity, be it financial or by sharing this campaign, would mean the world to those in need. Let’s continue to make a difference together!

After learning about his passing, Kylie’s makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram.

Sharing some moments from our friendship last night, he posted: ‘Last night I endured the deepest, awe-inspiring sadness I’ve ever known when I learned that you were gone @jesushair.’

Family isn’t only about blood relations; sometimes, it’s the people we choose for ourselves. And I consider you as part of my chosen family.

Many times before, I emphasized my reliance on you throughout these past ten years of our journey together. Whenever we faced challenges, you always assured me that nobody else would be your preferred companion for this adventure. Now that you’re gone, I find myself uncertain about how I can carry on without your presence.

In each space where we created enchantment, you served as my steadfast support, my unshakable foundation. Our connection transcended to a depth that is unique to us alone, a bond that few may ever fully grasp.

You served as a sanctuary for me, encouraging me to become the best possible version of myself wherever we shared space. Beyond being just a friend, you felt like my brother.

‘Jesus offers much wisdom for us to grasp, going beyond just his renowned abilities. His humility, kindness, strength, determination, zest for life, and the positive influence he had on all around him through his radiant spirit are equally valuable lessons.’

Jenner’s sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian have also shared heartfelt tributes to Guerrero.

On Monday both took to Insta Stories with their sad notes honoring the glam team member,

Kim expressed that her stylish family is incredibly important to her. They collaborate, enjoy vacations, and share in life’s celebrations together, as depicted in this photo featuring several stylists.

The deep admiration we hold for the craft of hairstyling and makeup has introduced us to some of the most compassionate individuals, even resulting in forming some of our dearest friendships, as expressed by the founder of SKIMS.

In simpler terms, the ex-wife of Kanye West expressed that whenever a cherished member of their close-knit circle departs, it deeply affects everyone involved.

Subsequently, Kim discussed her younger step-sibling Kylie. ‘It’s truly heartbreaking for Kylie and everyone who cherished Jesus as deeply as we all did.’

I’m sending my heartfelt prayers to his family, friends, and all those connected with the beauty industry who are mourning the loss of such a gifted and compassionate individual. May he find eternal peace, @jesushair.

On Sunday, Jessica Alba expressed heartfelt remembrance for her dearly departed friend and hairstylist through an emotional post on social media.

The 43-year-old actress paid tribute to Guerrero, a stylist who has also worked with stars like Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry.

She shared a picture of them both on bikes, accompanied by the caption, ‘You had an unadulterated spirit, with your heart and soul radiating so brilliantly.’

‘Will cherish memories forever – still can’t believe this.’

Additionally, the Trigger Warning celebrity posted other pictures too, featuring her deceased companion – among them was a picture taken during a family outing that appeared to be work-related, dating back several years.

 Another snap featured her at a picnic with Guerrero and another friend. 

Model Cassie Ventura, 38, also paid homage to the late hair stylist in a sweet post on Sunday. 

She noted on a picture of her with Guerrero beside a fence, possibly taken during a production pause, ‘I’m not overly familiar with you, but the impact you made on my spirit is indelible.’

She went on, addressing her as a ‘kind spirit’, offering her heartfelt affection and blessings for her loved ones and herself. May you find peace in love.

As a die-hard fan, I’m heartbroken to say that my world feels incomplete now. Jen Atkin, who works with the extraordinary Kardashian-Jenner clan, penned down on her Instagram stories, ‘Our hearts will never be the same. We’ve lost someone whose love, light, and talent were taken away from us far too soon.’

She recalled the dedication in the work of the person originally from Texas, commenting, ‘Jesus poured his whole self into everything he undertook, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. He arrived here ten years ago from Texas, brimming with extraordinary talent, warmth, and an irresistible smile.’

This version maintains the essence of your original text while making it more readable by using simpler sentence structures and avoiding repetition of the name ‘Texas’.

In reference to Jesus’ love towards others, she penned down that he was the one who would be the first to embrace you warmly, playfully mess with your hair, and inquire about your well-being. After encountering him, all you could do was cheer him on and wish for his success.
