LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ellen DeGeneres has shared a heartfelt message of support for her pal Kris Jenner following the death of her mother, Mary Jo 'MJ' Campbell.

Campbell died at the age of 91 on July 16, just 10 days before what would have been her 92nd birthday. The Kardashian-Jenner family has since paid tribute to the beloved matriarch, remembering her impact on their lives.

Ellen DeGeneres says she 'can't imagine' Kris Jenner's grief

Amid the difficult time for the Kardashian-Jenner family, DeGeneres posted a heartfelt message on social media featuring a photo of Jenner and her late mother.

The comedian wrote, “Portia and I know how much you loved your mother and what a special force she was in your life and your entire family‘s life. I can’t imagine the grief that you’re feeling right now.”

“We’re sending you our love. @krisjenner,” she added.

DeGeneres’ post was appreciated by Jenner’s two daughters, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, as the 42-year-old commented, “You are the sweetest!!! You’re such a great friend to my mommy.”

The momager’s eldest daughter said, “awww that’s so sweet.”

Kris Jenner calls her late mother 'the heart of our family'

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.

Kim Kardashian remembers her late grandmother as 'my forever twin'

The cause of Campbell’s death has not been revealed yet.

Just like Jenner, Kim Kardashian also honored her late grandmother by calling her “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,” the mother-of-four said, before adding, “I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever. YOU ARE THE BEST OF US!!!”
