The reality star and beauty mogul is covering funeral expenses and helping transport Guerrero’s mortal remains back to his hometown of Houston, Texas, states a report on TMZ.
According to the report, Jenner learned of Guerrero’s passing early Saturday morning and spent Sunday with his family, offering them assistance and extending her support during the trying time.

Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly."
In less than 24 hours, the fundraiser had raised over $54,000 of its $60,000 goal.
