Kylie Jenner's Hairstylist Cause of Death Revealed 3 Months After His Passing
Kylie Jenner's late hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero's cause of death, has been revealed three months after his tragic passing.
Per a report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, published this week, the celebrity hairdresser died of natural causes. Guerrero contracted two infections — pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) and disseminated cryptococcus neoformans — which are both caused by fungus, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The medical examiner listed the secondary cause of death as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
Guerrero died in February at age 34. His sister, Gris Guerrero, spoke to Us Weekly in March and said that her brother was diagnosed with gastritis months back and was very private about his health.
'People who saw him said, 'You need to get rest and help,' and he seemed to believe he could push through it and get better and unfortunately that wasn't the case,'' she told the outlet.
Besides being part of The Kardashians star's glam team, Jesus was also a close friend to her. Following Jesus' passing, Gris created a GoFundMe page — and was moved when Jenner, 27, reached out to help financially.
'Our family deeply appreciates Kylie for later offering to cover funeral expenses and offering up all her help and support,' Gris wrote.
The Khy founder, along with Jennifer Lopez, another one of Jesus' A-list clients, attended the funeral, which took place in Houston in March.
Jenner posted about how much she missed Jesus on her Instagram Story last month.
'Think about u every day,' she wrote on a photo of Jesus cooking in the kitchen with her and her daughter Stormi, 7, whom she shares with her ex Travis Scott.
She also made a heartfelt tribute to Jesus on the app in February after news of his death broke.
'Jesus was more than my friend – he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,' she wrote in part. '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.'

Alligator on Florida golf course takes victory lap with stolen club
Footage has surfaced showing an alligator traversing a Florida pond while displaying a golf club like a trophy. Presumably, the golfer is OK. The footage, shared by WINK News meteorologist Matt Devitt, was captured at an Orlando golf course recently by a WINK viewer named Doug. 'Only in Florida,' Devitt joked via Instagram. 'I'd let him play through.' It's unclear if the alligator stole the club from a bag, if the club had been left near the pond, or if the golfer had tossed the club into the water during a tantrum. It's also unclear if the voice in the audio belongs to the golfer who lost the club. While alligator sightings on Florida golf courses are fairly routine, this was extraordinary. It looks as though the gator is using the club as a snorkel or, as one follower remarked, a periscope. The top Instagram comment, predictably, reads: 'What happened to the golfer?'

Jussie Smollett reveals he's engaged to actor Jabari Redd: 'He said YES'
Jussie Smollett celebrated his birthday as an engaged man. The former "Empire" star, 43, revealed in an Instagram post that he is engaged to actor Jabari Redd. Smollett shared a gallery of photos showing himself down on one knee and presenting a ring to Redd, who looked elated. "I'll be spending my birthday with my Fiancé … He said YES. 💍," Smollett, who turned 43 on Saturday, June 21, wrote in the caption. Redd has appeared on shows like Showtime's "The Chi" and starred in "The Lost Holliday," a 2024 film directed by and starring Smollett. Smollett's sister Jurnee Smollett celebrated his engagement in the comments of the Instagram post, writing that she was "screaming with tears of joy!" She added that "my whole heart loves both of you" and welcomed Redd "to the family." Smollett's sister Jazz Smollett also commented, "Yaaaass!!! Welcome to the family Jabari!!! Love y'all!! Sooooo happy for you both." Jussie Smollett conviction in hate crime hoax overturned by Illinois Supreme Court The engagement news comes more than six years after Smollett was accused of staging a fake hate crime against himself in 2019. He claimed at the time that he was attacked by men who yelled homophobic slurs at him in Chicago. Jussie Smollett says he has 'to move forward' after alleged hate crime hoax Smollett was charged with lying to police about the attack, and he was convicted of felony disorderly conduct in 2021. But in November 2024, the Illinois Supreme Court overturned the actor's conviction, determining that he should not have been charged a second time for the same incident after charges against him were initially dropped in 2019. Smollett has repeatedly denied staging the hate crime and has maintained that the attack was real. Smollett reached a civil settlement with the city of Chicago earlier this year, according to NBC News. In a statement released on Instagram, the actor said he would pay $50,000 to a local nonprofit. "What I have to do now is move forward," he said. "I will continue creating my art, fighting passionately for causes I hold dear and defending my integrity and family name with the truth." Smollett previously told People magazine in an interview in September 2024, "I've moved on and I know that the world, one day, and it might be long after I'm gone, who knows, but one day the world is going to fix this. I just can't wait for that to happen because I have a life to live. But the world is going to fix it all."

Indiana Fever guard sees social media following erupt after Caitlin Clark defense
Since committing a hard foul in defense of star guard Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has seen her social media following skyrocket. Since the incident occurred, Cunningham's jersey sold out in the Fever team store and she has gained nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram and jumped from 300,000 to over 1.2 million followers on TikTok. As a frequent social media user, she posted a TikTok video playing into what happened during Tuesday's game with her lip-syncing lyrics from the Selena Gomez song, "Hands to Myself." "It's a joke... the sound was too fitting! happy game day," Cunningham captioned the post. That video now has more than 800,000 likes and 25,000 shares. Cunningham was ejected on June 17 after committing a late-game Flagrant 2 foul on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon which immediately drew Sheldon and fellow Sun guard Lindsay Allen into a fracas along the baseline. "It's cool. It's funny what kind of people are attracted to," Cunningham said Saturday of gaining so many followers. "I'm just trying to keep the main thing the main thing, and that's basketball, trying to win games, sticking up for my teammates. And that's all part of it. I think all that stuff is fun and whatnot, but, at the end of the day, we need to win some basketball games." Cunningham and the Fever (6-6) return to action on Sunday against the Las Vegas Aces (5-7) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
