Kim Tripp, a vertically-challenged young woman who made a living by impersonating Kim Kardashian in Las Vegas, was found dead inside her home on Sunday.
She was 32 years old.
Tripp starred as a version of Kardashian at Beacher’s Madhouse in Sin City and Hollywood Roosevelt.
According to TMZ, the man who portrayed mini Kanye West at the same show discovered her body on the front porch of their Las Vegas apartment just after midnight Sunday morning.
The two were reportedly a romantic item.
It’s unclear at this time whether she passed away as the result of a health issue or if foul play was involved.
“Today is a sad day, the Beacher’s Madhouse family lost one of our founders and original members,” wrote Beacher’s Madhouse in a statement, adding:
“She was our Shining Star. My prayers and love go out to our team and her family. She will be loved and missed by all.”
Kim Kardashian herself, meanwhile, also responded to the tragic death via a short message on Twitter.
“Rest in peace beautiful soul,” Kim wrote.
We send our condolences to Tripp’s friends, family members and loved ones.
