Kylie Jenner honors grandmother MJ following her death at 91

Kylie Jenner is paying tribute to her beloved grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, in a deeply personal way following her passing at the age of 91.

The beauty mogul shared a series of touching memories on Instagram Stories over the weekend, giving fans a glimpse into the special bond she shared with the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch. Among the images was a moving display of family photos projected onto a large screen, turning treasured moments into a heartfelt memorial.

Throwback Photos Celebrate a Lifetime of Memories

Kylie’s tribute included several nostalgic snapshots from her childhood, featuring the reality star alongside sister Kendall Jenner during the early 2000s. The photos captured a simpler time for the famous family, long before Kylie built her billion-dollar beauty empire and became one of the most recognizable names in pop culture.

She also shared an elegant black-and-white portrait of a young MJ, showing her modeling a halter-style dress with a flowing skirt. The vintage image highlighted Campbell’s timeless beauty and offered fans a rare look at her life before she became a familiar face on television.

While Kylie has not publicly commented beyond the posts, the sentimental gesture appeared to be her way of keeping her grandmother’s memory alive during an incredibly difficult time.

“Today, we said goodbye to my beautiful Mommy MJ. There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye,” Kris wrote.

She went on to describe her mother as “the heart of our family,” crediting her with teaching generations of the Kardashian-Jenner clan the importance of unconditional love, resilience, and cherishing every moment together.

Kris also shared how much she will miss their daily conversations, adding that although the family is devastated, they are comforted by the lasting legacy of love MJ leaves behind.

The touching tribute resonated with millions, garnering more than four million likes within days of being posted.

MJ Was a Beloved Figure in the Kardashian Universe

Longtime fans of Keeping Up With the Kardashians will remember MJ as one of the family’s most cherished recurring personalities.

Known for her sharp wit, warmth, and close relationships with her grandchildren, Campbell became a fan favorite over the years through her appearances on the reality series and its various spinoffs. Whether she was sharing life advice or joining family celebrations, MJ remained a constant presence in the Kardashian-Jenner world.

Her bond with Kris was especially well documented, with the mother-daughter duo frequently spending time together and appearing on screen.

The Family Recently Celebrated MJ’s 91st Birthday

Just last year, the Kardashian-Jenner family gathered to celebrate MJ’s 91st birthday at Los Angeles hotspot The Ivy.

At the time, Kris marked the occasion with a loving social media post, writing, “Happy birthday to my mommy MJ!!! I love you!!! Kristen xo.”

Kylie and Khloé Kardashian also joined in the festivities online, sharing photos of Kris and MJ posing alongside an elaborate floral birthday cake. One close-up shot revealed what appeared to be a cheesecake topped with gold “91” candles—a fitting tribute to the woman who helped shape one of Hollywood’s most famous families.

A Lasting Legacy

For decades, Mary Jo Campbell was more than just the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch—she was the family’s foundation.

As Kylie and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan continue to mourn her loss, their recent tributes serve as a reminder of the close-knit family values MJ instilled in each generation.

And while her passing marks the end of an era, it’s clear her influence—and the memories she created with her children and grandchildren—will continue to live on.
