Kylie Jenner is too sick to attend the launch of her makeup collaboration with Olivier Rousteing of Balmain.
Hours after TMZ reported that the the 22-year-old business mogul was hospitalized due to "flu-like" symptoms, Kylie released a statement on Twitter explaining why she won't be at the upcoming Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week, where her makeup collab is set to launch.
"So as you know, I was getting ready to go to Paris for the Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week for the launch of my makeup collab with Olivier," she began. "Unfortunately I'm really sick and unable to travel. I'm heartbroken to be missing this show, but I know that my amazing team, and my friends who are in town for the event, will help me be there in spirit."
"Creating this collection with Olivier has been a dream. Of course this collection isn't just for the runway. I created this so that you could have a piece of this once in a lifetime event," Kylie continued. "I'm SO proud of this collection and of Olivier, and our friendship, vision and creativity really comes across in the products we created for you guys. Make sure you guys watch the show with me on Friday. It's going to [be] an epic event and I can't wait. I love you Olivier, congratulations, and I'm sending you all my love!!!"
TMZ was the first to report that Kylie is suffering, and has been for several days, "with an intense illness." She reportedly checked into a Los Angeles-area hospital this week with what a source described as "severe flu-like symptoms," which included nausea and dizziness.
Kylie's said to be getting "top-notch treatment" right now, but it's still unclear what her prognosis is at this point. An insider added that Caitlyn Jenner's been at the hospital checking in on Kylie since momager Kris Jenner is out of the country for work right now.
The outlet later reported that Kris is "already in Paris to oversee Kylie's Balmain partnership," and has been "speaking to Kylie regularly." Kris will reportedly be flying home on Saturday (September 28) to be with Kylie.
