Kim Kardashian also paid tribute to her grandmother, describing MJ as her "forever twin" and reflecting on the impact she had on her life.
She credited her grandmother with teaching her the value of hard work after giving her first job at a family store in San Diego.
"You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman," Kardashian wrote. "You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place. You truly were the matriarch of our family."
She ended her tribute by saying she would miss her grandmother forever and hoped she was reunited with other late family members.
