Kylie Jenner donates $10,000 to pal who lost father

Kylie Jenner has donated $10,000 to her best friend Jordyn Woods’ family following her father’s death.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star sent the donation via a GoFundMe page, which was created by her friend’s father’s widow, Elizabeth, to help towards the cost of his outstanding medical bills.
The description on the site, reads: "This hit us from nowhere.
"We are emotionally, mentally and financially impacted and are still aware of how this devastating loss will truly impact on our family.
"As we begin to plan for John’s services, we are still saddles with a portion of his medical expenses."
Kylie has given the family a fifth of the amount they need, which is $50,000.
Alongside her donation, the 19-year-old beauty business owner wrote: "I love you guys very much."
The brunette beauty reached out to Jordyn and their family last Wednesday (18.01.17), a day after her friend revealed John died of cancer, just two weeks after being diagnosed with the disease.
She wrote on Instagram: "My Fire Ox, My Brother, My Soul Sister. Give Jordy & her family some support and prayers right now.
"I love you the long way @jordynwoods . The other half of me .. When you cry I cry.(sic)"
Jordyn confirmed the sad news on Instagram last Thursday (17.01.17) but admitted the tragedy still hadn’t sunk in.
She shared on Instagram: "Last night heaven Got Another angel. My Daddy. Just two short weeks ago he was diagnosed with cancer and by that time it was too late.
"I appreciate everyone’s kind words and it means the world to me. It still doesn’t feel real. Forever and Always.(sic)"
Kylie and Jordyn have been close friends for a long time and the make-up guru generously splashed out $70,000 on a car for her pal when she turned 18 in September 2015.
At the time, Kylie shared a picture of the black convertible Mercedes-Benz on Instagram and wrote: "happy birthday jordyn. Thank you for being you. Most down to earth selfless human being! I hope you enjoy it (sic)"
And Jordyn was left stunned by the generous gift.
She also shared a photo of the car and wrote: "There’s no words to describe how I feel.. I just don’t know what I did to deserve this. I can never thank @kyliejenner for motivating me to always do my best and always opening up new opportunities. Do good and good things will happen. Blessed and grateful always. Love you and thank you again to everyone who made me feel special on this 18th year (sic)"
