Caitlyn Jenner’s mother passed away at the age of 96.

Sources from local media outlets were quick to confirm the news after the leading reality television star’s reps and close friends made the announcement on social media recently.

And it did not take long for the leading celebrity who has made a great name for herself on the show Keeping Up With The Kardashians to reveal the news herself through a heartfelt tribute.

Esther Jenner was very close to Caitlyn and the news just devastated the star who shared a happy image featuring her and her mother sitting side by side. She even stated a few words in her honor and explained how the moment has left a terrible impact on her.

Another image showed Caitlyn during the time when she was still married to Kris Jenner having a blast with the mom in the picture too.

But despite the image, some sources did speak about how Kris and the star’s mom also had a troubled relationship with each other. They just never got along for years and that’s why they chose to stay away from one another for so many years.

The issue was also dealt with on the show where the duo was seen trying to confront one another during her birthday where they finally made peace despite the years of conflict between them.

Caitlyn’s mother also starred by her daughter’s side when she began her own reality show after undergoing the controversial process of transitioning.

Jenner’s mom was also said to be very close to both of her grandchildren, Kylie Jenner and Kendell Jenner.

“I am so heartbroken to announce that my mother has passed away yesterday peacefully. She will always remain in all of our hearts. Please remember her in your prayers’- she added in the heartfelt post.
