She continued: "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. Iâve been having trouble putting the words together the last few days. The truth is Iâm still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end. It seems senseless and unfair."
Jennifer concluded: "I know your family is brokenhearted as am I and everyone else who knew you. 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."

Gris' announcement of her brother's death read: "It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven. He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more."
She added: "Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly. Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston."
Jesus had worked with everyone from Jennifer to Demi Moore, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner.Â

She added: "Donations raised through this fundraiser will go toward the costs associated with securing his belongings home. As well as other unexpected expenses to settle his assets. With his death being so unexpected there are many things that weren't set up for a time like this.
"The next several months will have many hoops we will have to jump through to ensure we honor him in the best way we can. Our mother will be taking time off to ensure that everything gets taken care of and so that she can grieve properly because a mother should never have to bury her child. We truly appreciate everyoneâs support. Thank you."
