Renowned celebrity hairstylist Kim Vo, known for styling stars like Paris Hilton and Tori Spelling, has passed away at the age of 55 after fighting colorectal cancer.

Vo’s husband, Adeel Khan, shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram on Saturday.

“My beloved husband, best friend, and life and business partner, Kim Vō, has taken his final breath,” Khan wrote in the post.

Khan went on to explain that Vo had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2018. He commended Vo’s courage, noting that he not only fought bravely but also surpassed doctors’ expectations, thanks to the exceptional care from Dr. Lawrence Piro and his team at Angeles Clinic and Cedars-Sinai.

“Ultimately, God decided it was time for our angel on earth to return home,” Khan added.

Khan said his husband was “beloved not only by his family and friends, but by the global hair community and millions of viewers who came to know him for both his artistry and his warmth.”

“Kim had a rare ability to make everyone feel seen, welcomed, and at home,” he added/

Khan requested that people donate to the Kim Vō Foundation “in support of hair, beauty, and fashion creatives also affected by cancer.”

“Our first initiatives focus on advocacy and helping to provide the level of care and treatment that Kim was fortunate to receive, for our fellow peers,” he penned.

“This is the legacy Kim and I are committed to building with your support. We love you, we are here for you, and we will fight for you.”

In the comments section of the post, several stars paid tribute to Vo.

“I’m so sorry he was such an amazing human. Filled with such light and love xo,” Spelling, 52, wrote.

“Oh no!!! The iconic Perez pink and all my wold colors – as well as my lush blondes – were thanks to Kim. A master of his craft and art! Such a loss! 😢😢😢,” Perez Hilton added.

“I will never forget his kindness and how special I felt when I walked in those salon doors. May he fly high with the angels. I feel so lucky to have known him and am sending prayers for healing to all the hearts who loved him,” Emmy-nominated producer ​​Ashley Hammen commented.

Vo was the go-to colorist for many A-listers, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson and Uma Thurman.

He also appeared as a judge on Bravo’s “Shear Genius,” worked behind the scenes on “Extreme Makeover” and starred on Paramount+’s “Blowing LA.”
