Kris Jenner's sister Karen Houghton died at 65

Kris Jenner's younger sister, Karen Houghton, passed away in March 2024 at the age of 65. Kris announced her sister's death in a touching Instagram post, describing Karen as a "beautiful inside and out" person who was "the sweetest, kindest, the most sensitive and vulnerable." Kris and Karen were raised in San Diego, California. They grew up in a turbulent home after their parents divorced when Kris was just seven years old. Despite the challenges, they remained close throughout their lives, supporting each other during tough times. Karen was a mother to one daughter, Natalie, born in 1998, who has since become a model and influencer. Recently, Natalie celebrated her wedding with her family, including Kris and their mother, MJ. While Kris has often shared her family life on reality television, Karen chose to live a more private life. However, they did share moments together on social media, like a Christmas photo in 2019. Karen died from cardiac arrest related to underlying health issues, including Type 2 diabetes and bipolar disorder. Kris expressed deep sorrow for her sister's loss and reflected on the importance of cherishing life. Natalie also shared heartfelt tributes, calling her mother her best friend. Kim Kardashian remembered her aunt with sweet posts on Instagram as well.
