Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner rushed to Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King to show their support ahead their Blue Origin spaceflight.
The mother-daughter duo –– who are close friends with Sánchez and her fiancé, Jeff Bezos –– watched with other family members and friends at the site in Van Horn, Texas, Monday morning.
The “Kardashians” stars explained in an interview with the live Blue Origin broadcast that they wanted to “support our girlfriend and our friends.”
“This is a really unique experience and we’re just so honored to be here to support them and watch this amazing part of history, and I’m so proud of her,” Jenner, 69, said of Sánchez, 55.
Kardashian, 40, jumped in to clarify that they were proud of “all of the female astronauts” –– which also includes NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen and film producer Kerianne Flynn.
Jenner added that her other daughter, Kim Kardashian, also wanted to join them but had to stay back home.
“So, it’s very inspirational, and I’m just super proud of the girls –– every one of them,” Jenner added. “It’s a very brave thing to do.”
Kardashian also spoke to the inspiration and added, “I just think it’s really whatever you dream of it is within our reach –– especially in our day and age. Dream big, wish for the stars and maybe one day you can be amongst them.”
The “Kardashians” stars urged their friends to “be as present as possible” and stay “in the moment.”
The Kardashians were also joined by Oprah Winfrey –– who showed up to support her best friend, King.
Winfrey got emotional during the launch and was seen wiping away tears.
Prior to the launch, Winfrey told reporters that she felt “so calm.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever been so calm, because I think it’s already done,” Winfrey said. “Once she finally said yes, I was like, OK, we’re going. It’s a go!”
