In a heartfelt tribute, Kylie Jenner honored the memory of her grandmother, Mary Jo ‘MJ’ Campbell, who passed away at the age of 91.
On Saturday, the 28-year-old mogul turned to Instagram Stories to post nostalgic images of her beloved grandmother. These cherished moments were showcased in a slideshow on a large display screen.
Included among the photos were endearing shots from the early 2000s capturing a young Kylie with her older sister, Kendall Jenner, now 30 years old.
Kylie also featured a breathtaking black-and-white photograph of MJ Campbell from her youth, elegantly modeling a halter-neck dress with a flowing skirt.
The Daily Mail has attempted to reach out to Kylie’s representative for a statement but has not yet received a response.
It comes after Kylie’s mom Kris Jenner, 70, announced her mom’s passing in a somber social media post shared on Thursday.
‘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,’ the businesswoman began in her devastating caption.

How should families honor and remember loved ones after they’re gone?
Remembering her mom, she continued, ‘My mom was the heart of our family. She taught me everything that truly matters… to love your family fiercely, to be kind, to show up for the people you love, and to never take a single moment together for granted.
‘She taught us that family is everything. She showed us how to love unconditionally and how to find joy in the little moments. She showed me how to face life’s challenges with resilience and faith.
‘Mom, thank you for every sacrifice you made, every piece of wisdom you shared, and every moment you loved us so completely. I will miss our daily talks, your smile, your laughter…’
Kris added in her heartfelt tribute, which has received over four million likes, ‘Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort knowing that love like yours never truly leaves us.’
Campbell became well-known to Kardashian-Jenner fans as she made frequent appearances on the family’s reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
One year ago the clan was spotted celebrating her birthday at the upscale Los Angeles restaurant The Ivy.
‘Happy birthday to my mommy MJ!!!’ Kris wrote in a social media post at the time.
She signed off using her full name: ‘I love you!!! Kristen xo.’
Among them were snapshots of a young Kylie alongside her older sister Kendall Jenner, 30, in the early 2000s
She also shared a stunning black and white photo of Campbell as a young woman, modeling a halter neck dress with a billowy skirt

Kim Kardashian also paid tribute to Campbell, who she called her ‘forever twin,’ in the wake of her passing.
She posted multiple photos of them from throughout her life and wrote online, ‘My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin… You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!!
‘You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman. You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since.
‘You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place. You truly were the matriarch of our family, and your love is woven into all of us. I know you’re at peace now. Give Papa Harry, Aunt Karen, and my dad a hug for me. You will always be a part of me, I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever. YOU ARE THE BEST OF US!!!
‘I know you are up in heaven, looking at all of our Instagram posts of you from your sneaky finsta account you would always use lol.’
