Kylie Jenner memorialized her grandmother Mary Jo ‘MJ’ Campbell in a special way, following her death at age 91.
The 28-year-old entrepreneur took to Instagram Stories on Saturday to share precious throwback photos of the matriarch, which were projected onto a large screen.
Among them were snapshots of a young Kylie alongside her older sister Kendall Jenner, 30, in the early 2000s.
She also shared a stunning black and white photo of Campbell as a young woman, modeling a halter neck dress with a billowy skirt.
The Daily Mail has reached out to a representative for Kylie for comment but has yet to hear back.
It comes after Kylie’s mom Kris Jenner, 70, announced her mom’s passing in a somber social media post shared on Thursday.
‘Today, we said goodbye to my beautiful Mommy MJ. There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye,’ the businesswoman began in her devastating caption.

Remembering her mom, she continued, ‘My mom was the heart of our family. She taught me everything that truly matters… to love your family fiercely, to be kind, to show up for the people you love, and to never take a single moment together for granted.
‘She taught us that family is everything. She showed us how to love unconditionally and how to find joy in the little moments. She showed me how to face life’s challenges with resilience and faith.
‘Mom, thank you for every sacrifice you made, every piece of wisdom you shared, and every moment you loved us so completely. I will miss our daily talks, your smile, your laughter…’
Kris added in her heartfelt tribute, which has received over four million likes, ‘Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort knowing that love like yours never truly leaves us.’
Campbell became well-known to Kardashian-Jenner fans as she made frequent appearances on the family’s reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
One year ago the clan was spotted celebrating her birthday at the upscale Los Angeles restaurant The Ivy.
‘Happy birthday to my mommy MJ!!!’ Kris wrote in a social media post at the time.
She signed off using her full name: ‘I love you!!! Kristen xo.’

And both Kylie and her sister Khloe Kardashian, 42, shared a photo of Kris and MJ with a floral birthday cake.
An up-close shot showed what looked like a classic cheesecake topped with golden, balloon-like ’91’ candles.
Kim Kardashian also paid tribute to Campbell, who she called her ‘forever twin,’ in the wake of her passing.
She posted multiple photos of them from throughout her life and wrote online, ‘My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin… You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!!
‘You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman. You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since.
‘You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place. You truly were the matriarch of our family, and your love is woven into all of us. I know you’re at peace now. Give Papa Harry, Aunt Karen, and my dad a hug for me. You will always be a part of me, I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever. YOU ARE THE BEST OF US!!!
‘I know you are up in heaven, looking at all of our Instagram posts of you from your sneaky finsta account you would always use lol.’
