Kim Kardashian pens a sweet tribute to ‘best friend’ Khloe Kardashian on her milestone 40th birthday – after THAT nasty The Whale jab

Kim Kardashian is sending her love to Khloe Kardashian on her milestone 40th birthday — after making a mean joke at her on this week’s episode of The Kardashians.

The 43-year-old founder of SKIMS shared a sweet tribute to her younger sister on Instagram on Thursday, June 27.

“Welcome to the damn 40 club baby!!!!!” Kim started. ‘I feel like you’ve been waiting for years to finally be done with your thirties and now the time has come.

“I know this will be the best decade of your life, filled with so much love and happiness! I’m so happy you get to experience this because I know how good it is, and no one deserves this more than you!”

In a nod to their adventures thus far, the Kardashians star added, “What a crazy life we ​​live! I couldn’t do it without you by my side! Thank you for being the best friend and sister a girl could ever dream of. Congratulations.”

Along with the touching words, Kim added a slew of throwback photos of herself and Khloe dressed to the nines.

The American Horror Story actress wore a silver bra top, a gray skirt with a high slit and diamond jewelry.

Kim’s long, dark locks fell down her back as she looked into the camera.

Meanwhile, Khloe wore the same bra top and long skirt, but in black.

However, the reality star opted to wear her hair up, with the front layers left loose.

In the last photos, Kim is seen wearing her big sister hat as she lies on the floor taking pictures of Khloe during her photoshoot.

Shortly after, Khloe responded to her big sister’s comment — whom she affectionately calls “keeks” — with kind words.

‘I love you my peeps!!!! You are an incredible human being and I feel so blessed to have you by my side!!!’ she wrote.

“You are everything and more!!!! I’m finally in the club!!!! It feels amazing”

Momager Kris Jenner also wished Khloe a happy birthday on Instagram, praising her for being a “remarkable” mother.

“Happy birthday, my beautiful, wonderful angel!!!!!,” she began. ‘I’m not sure what I did to deserve you, but I thank God every day for the wonderful blessing of being your mom… you are one of the most wonderful loves of my life, and I cherish every glorious memory that we’ve ever made.’

Kris called Khloe “the most amazing daughter” and then reflected on the Good American founder’s own role as a mother.

“Seeing you as a mother has been so remarkable to me,” the 68-year-old wrote of Khloe – who shares daughter True, six, and son Tatum, one, with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.

“You are everyone’s favorite aunt and have literally devoted and devoted yourself to your babies and to all your nieces and nephews and are everyone’s hero. You are such a joyful, happy and funny slice of life and when I am with you you always make me feel so special and so happy to be with you,” Kris continued. ‘I love the way you love me. You are someone so special and you have the most amazing creativity, style, energy, beauty and love emanating from you.”

Calling Khloe “everyone’s biggest cheerleader,” she added, “you make each and every one of us feel so special and loved. I don’t know how I got so lucky to be with you in my life!!!!”

“Thank you for everything you do for everyone Khloé and for always looking at the glass half full and for always looking at life through such a positive lens. No matter what happens, you’re so cheerful for the rest of us. I love your strength and your sensitivity and your vulnerability and your support,” Kris said. “Happy birthday my beautiful girl and may all your dreams come true. I love you more than I can ever express in words, and you will always be my Bunny. Love, Mommy.”

Kris shared photos of Khloe growing up, including a mother-daughter photo in denim jeans on a tractor and a black-and-white photo of Kris, Khloe, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.

Khloe herself took some time to enjoy her 40th birthday.

“Deeply Grateful For Every Moment,” she gushed under a video of her life through the decades — including a rare cameo from brother Rob Kardashian. ‘I love you! I’m so excited and grateful for this new decade and all it has in store!!!’

Meanwhile, Kim’s birthday tribute comes just hours before the Kardashians episode airs at midnight, in which Khloe gaslights the SKKN mogul, calling her a “little bitch.”

The sisters argued about Khloe’s tendency to spend all her time at home with her children, People.

Kim accused Khloé of being “subdued” in her tone and manner of speaking, especially regarding the influencer’s parenting style.

But Khloe felt Kim’s anger was misplaced.

“It sounds like you’re dealing with a bunch of your own bulls and you decided to harvest this and build all this animosity towards me when this is a f*cking problem,” the 40-year-old fired back. “I swear you just wanna project what you’re going through and take it out on me, and I can handle it but only for so long. I’m not here all day so if you wanna punch me or something, go ahead and do it.”

Kim further noted that she believes Khloe should “live her own life.” You have the world at your fingertips, but you have to see the world.’

“You don’t let yourself go out and find someone or even a group of friends,” she continued.

Kim hit Khloe with tough love, adding, “You don’t realize that sometimes you have a stick up your ass and it’s like sometimes you’re like, God, she just needs to get fucked. You just need to get away from your children for a while, a pure getaway!’

So outside their Calabasas hub.

“You’re fine in Hidden Hills, your kids run your life,” Kim said. “I have a schedule, I have to be somewhere.” … I feel sorry for you. Live your f***ing life, get out of here!
