The TV host’s post came after Jenner announced the tragedy in an Instagram post.

She shared, “There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye. 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.”

The 70-year-old matriarch further noted that her mother made sacrifices and taught her “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.”

“My heart is broken into a million pieces… thank you for giving me the greatest childhood and oh what a beautiful blessed life… I love you forever Mommy. Thank you for giving us everything,” Jenner added.
