Kim Kardashian is remembering her childhood friend Lindsay Palevsky one year after her death.

Kim Kardashian pays tribute to late friend Lindsay Palevsky

On Monday, The Kardashians star shared a touching tribute to Palevsky, who died in November 2024. Palevsky was a core member of Kardashian’s longtime friend group, aka “lifers.” 

“A year without you,” Kardashian captioned the Instagram post, which also included photos of the two women together and an image of Palevsky’s grave marker. “The world paused on Nov 2nd and I know a part of the lifers went with you. Time feels strange without you here. We all see you in purple skies and butterflies. I love you forever, my lifer.”

While Kardashian lives her life in the spotlight, Palevsky kept a much lower profile, generally staying off of social media, which her friend acknowledged in another tribute post earlier this year.

“It was just your birthday and I know you never liked to make a big deal of it, but Happy Heavenly Birthday, Lindz,” the SKIMS founder wrote back in July. 

“I waited months to post this, mostly because I couldn’t find the right words. Nothing really captures how quiet and empty our lifers chat feels without you in it. I know you’d probably roll your eyes at me posting anything — especially since you didn’t really even have social media — but I couldn’t go through this lake trip without feeling you everywhere, and I needed to share it,” she continued.

Kardashian went on to call the lake her friend’s “happy place” and not how much she was missed during this year’s girls’ trip. 

“We felt your absence this year in every sunset, every laugh, every quiet moment,” she wrote. “Looking back at these pictures from a year ago, I feel so grateful for all the memories we made since we were kids. We miss you so f*cking much, Lindz. Our world is not the same without you. I guess that’s why I hold onto this lake tradition so tightly. We’ll always have the lake — and in that, we’ll always have a piece of you.”

The reality star has spoken in the past about how her close friends keep her grounded. 

“Honestly, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my friends. Like I have the best friends and they’re super supportive,” she said in a 2024 episode of The Kardashians. “I think that’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist, is because I have the best friends in the entire world, and they mean everything to me.”
