Jesus Guerrero, a renowned celebrity hairstylist known for working with stars like Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez, has died at the age of 34.

Guerrero’s family announced his death on Sunday through a series of posts shared on Instagram Stories.

“Our family would like to thank everyone for all the love and support during this hard time. Jesus was the brightest light, we have never doubted that he touched the hearts and lives of everyone he came across,” the family’s statement said. “We have fallen into tears repeatedly reminiscing and wondering what we could of done different to still have him with us.”

“Seeing everyone's loving posts fills and tears our hearts all at once. If anyone has videos or photos they'd like to send to us through here we'd love every frame,” they continued. “I don't know how the world will go on without his light but I know he'll give us the strength to push past any obstacle.”

In a GoFundMe page set up by his younger sister, Gris, she revealed that Guerrero died “suddenly and unexpectedly” but did not provide specifics.

“He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more. Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top,” Gris wrote.

The fundraiser, aimed at bringing Guerrero’s remains back to Houston and covering related expenses, had collected over $77,000 of its $80,000 goal by Sunday afternoon.

“It doesn't feel real. My sweet Jesus, you were such a light in this world," Paytas wrote. "Reconnected last year and you were living the most beautiful life. An inspiration to us all. Gone too soon."

“I met Jesus in 2015. Him and Angel really showed me what glam was,” she wrote in a separate post. “They also showed me so much genuine friendship. They would take me out to eat after every heartbreak, helped me decorate all my apartments, cook together etc.”

Paytas also spoke about his career, from working with Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez to styling Katy Perry in a music video last year, before adding, “I think I'm still in shock. He impacted so many people. And I'm so lucky to have known him in this life.”
