He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.” The Khy founder accompanied her tribute with photos of her and Guerrero over the years.

The pain of losing you is just unbearable and I don’t know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love. And I loved you so much. You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. A true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will.”
