The cause of the death of famous stylist Jesús Guerrero, who died after a trip to Dubai with Jennifer López
The world of beauty was shock earlier this year when the news was known that Jesús Guerrero, the celebrity stylist behind the iconic Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Moore and Katy Perry looks, had suddenly died at the age of 34. Now, almost four months after his death, the forensic doctor of the Los Angeles County has revealed the official cause of death, offering a new perspective of the tragic loss that surprised Hollywood and his legion of fans.
What caused the sudden death of Jesus Guerrero?
According to the autopsy report, published on June 2, Guerrero died from severe pneumonia, complicated by a rare known fungal infection as Cryptococcus Neoformans . The report, published by TMZ, also indicated that Guerrero had a weakened immune system, which made it especially vulnerable to these infections. The cause of his death was declared natural.
Cryptococosis is a fungal disease caused by the inhalation of Cryptococcus spores, a common fungus in the environment. In people with weakened immune systems, this infection can quickly become a deadly threat, attacking the lungs and even spreading to the brain. According to reports, Guerrero’s family and friends did not know the seriousness of their health problems, since he kept a large part of his illness, even after losing nine kilos and experiencing constant pain and fatigue during the months prior to his death.
The last days: from Hollywood to Dubai
The sudden decline of Guerrero occurred after a vertiginous period of international travel for work. In February, he was in Dubai with Jennifer López, just a few weeks after spending time with Kylie Jenner in Los Angeles. Despite feeling bad since September 2024, Guerrero continued to fulfill his job commitments in Ireland, England and the United Arab Emirates.
He entered a Los Angeles hospital on February 21, 2025 and died the next morning.
His family announced his death on February 23, describing him as a “sudden and unexpected.” His younger sister, gray, subsequently shared that he had been diagnosed gastritis and that he had secretly kept his health problems, believing that he could recover without medical intervention.
Tribute and support of celebrities
The pain samples from the celebrity world were immediate and felt. Kylie Jenner, who considered Guerrero more than a simple stylist, but a close friend, shared emotional tributes on social networks, calling him “a light in my life and a source of comfort and love.” Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry also expressed their regret; Lopez attended his funeral in Houston on March 30, along with Jenner and other figures of the beauty industry.
Jenner was a step further, silently covering the expenses of Guerrero’s funeral and helping her family with additional costs.
Remembering an icon of the beauty industry
The legacy of Jesus Guerrero endures through the innumerable celebrities he stylized and the many friends and fans that inspired his creativity and generosity. While the beauty community continues in mourning, its history is a touching reminder of the importance of health awareness, even for those who seem to have everything. Guerrero’s family has raised almost $ 100,000 through a Gofundme campaign, ensuring that their memory and impact do not fall into oblivion.
