Kylie Jenner has made a $500,000 donation to a teenage cancer ward to honour her friend Harry Hudson.
The generous gift was used alongside money from Teen Cancer America to build a patient space called the Hey, I'm Here For You Teen Lounge at the Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Tennessee.
The revelation of the donation comes shortly after the 23-year-old received criticism for not donating a big enough sum to a GoFundMe supporting her injured former makeup artist.
But no one can complain about her latest amount which was used to honour long-term friend Harry who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2013.
Harry released a statement praising Kylie. He said: "I am so grateful for Kylie's friendship and the impact she's had on my life and my cancer journey
"She has always been there for me, and together, we wanted to figure out a way to be there for other young people who are battling this disease.
"With the help of Teen Cancer America, we were able to contribute the first Hey, I'm Here For You Teen lounge at Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt — a comfortable space for young people undergoing treatment to pursue their passions."
The space will be at the hospital in Nashville which is described as "one of the nation's leading children's hospitals".
It will feature a number of video gaming set-ups, a big screen TV to watch movies on, a meditation space and space for parents to chat.
Harry lavished further praise to his friend on his personal Instagram page.
He wrote: "Today is a beautiful day! A couple years ago @kyliejenner & I raised money to build a center for teens going through cancer in hopes of making their experience a little better.
"Today we are so excited to finally announce the completion of the first #HeyImHereForYou Lounge @vumcchildren in Nashville.
"This space is the initial program of my new charity @hihfycharity which is focused on enhancing the lives of teens and young adults undergoing cancer treatment."
In 2017, Kylie started raising funds for the project by allocating part of her Kylie Cosmetics Birthday collection proceeds to Teen Cancer America.
