"Karen was beautiful inside and out. She was the sweetest, kindest, the most sensitive and vulnerable and so so funny.
"She always felt grateful and thankful for her life and treasured her family and friends and especially her beautiful daughter."
The Kardashians star carried on: "She holds such a huge part of my heart and I cherish every single memory we have together.
"Karen’s passing is a reminder that life is so short and precious and tomorrow is never promised. We must tell those we cherish how much we love them."
