Jennifer Lopez ‘in Shock’ After Death of Celebrity Hairstylist Jesus Guerrero

Jennifer Lopez is mourning the loss of celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero following his death at the age of 34. Just days after the Houston-born artist’s family confirmed his sudden and unexpected passing, Lopez penned an emotional social media tribute, calling Guerrero’s passing “senseless and unfair.”

“Jesus,” Lopez began the tribute, which was shared alongside a black-and-white photo of Guerrero. “It’s no surprise your mother gave you the name Jesus. You were gentle and kind and loving, quiet and unassuming, but so powerful, and your presence was felt the minute you walked into any room. You never demanded the spotlight. You never needed to make a sound to be recognized, your heart and your talent did that as effortlessly as you artistry did.

“Your spirit moved on to the next phase beyond this life but I know wherever you are there is beauty and light. And the beauty and light you left here will live on forever. Rest in peace, sweet angel…” she concluded the post, adding a broken heart emoji.
