Kim Tripp, Mini Kim Kardashian Impersonator, Dies at 32
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.

Levi Johnston WINS 7-year Custody Battle Over Son Tripp!
The seven-year-long custody battle between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston is finally over.
Levi took to Facebook to announce that he and his ex would be sharing custody of their seven-year-old son Tripp, Life & Style reports.
“I’m so happy to have my son in my life and to put all of this back and forth in the courts behind me,” he wrote.
“It might have taken me 7 years and cost me around $ 100,000 in lawyer fees, spread out among 3 different lawyers, as well as a lot of patience, but it was all worth it.”
The battle came to a head two years ago when Palin took Tripp with her to Scottsdale, Ariz., where she had enrolled in a six-month training program unbeknownst to Johnston.
“Tripp needs to be in Alaska. We’re [sic] the rest of his family is. How can u be so selfish and no I was never EVER ok with u taking my son anywhere or put on your TV show,” Johnston wrote to Palin in a text.
However, Palin claimed that Johnston owed $ 66,808.57 in child support. Johnston countered that the figure was off by about $ 30,000.
Today, Johnston insists he has paid the majority of his child support and has been working hard to be a good dad.
“Although I do owe some back child support, altogether I have paid $ 50,000 in child support for Tripp… so at the end of the day, I know I have worked hard to meet my obligations as a father,” Levi added in his Facebook post.
Johnston is married to Sunny Oglesby, an elementary school teacher, with whom he shares two children.
Palin just gave birth to her second child, Sailor Grace in December.
