Kylie Jenner honored her late friend and hairstylist Jesus Guerrero with an emotional birthday tribute, six months after his sudden passing at the age of 34.

Kylie Jenner will always carry on Jesus Guerrero’s legacy.

Six months after her longtime friend and hairstylist died unexpectedly at the age of 34, the Kardashians star celebrated what would’ve been his 35th birthday with an emotional social media tribute.

“Not a day goes by that we don’t think about you @jesushair,” Kylie wrote on her Instagram Stories Aug. 23 alongside a photo of a cake topped with five lit candles. “Happy heavenly birthday: you’re forever loved and missed.”

Days after the tragic news broke back in February, Kylie shared a heartfelt note to honor the late hairstylist—who also counted Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa and Katy Perry as clients—and reflect on what his friendship meant to her.

“Jesus was more than my friend—he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,” she wrote on Instagram Feb. 25 alongside several photos and videos of her and Jesus over the years. “I don’t know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.”

The 28-year-old—who shares kids Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, with ex Travis Scott—also directed part of her note directly to her beloved friend.

“Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend,” she continued. “The pain of losing you is just unbearable and I don’t know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love, and I loved you so much.”

Two months later, Kylie—who had stepped in to cover Jesus’ funeral expenses for his family—opened up about how difficult it had been navigating her grief.

Alongside a video of Jesus from October 2024, Kylie wrote to her Instagram Stories, “Found this video from that day. I thought I could get through today without crying, but the ache of missing you hit all over again.”

“Grief isn’t getting easier,” she continued in the April 26 post. “It’s just getting lonelier. I miss you so much. Why aren’t you here. Every first without you hurts sm.”
