- Story Text: The Kardashian family on Friday (October 16) paused social media postings across their commercial sites while ex basketball star Lamar Odom - Khloe Kardashian's estranged husband - fights for his life in a Las Vegas hospital.
Khloe, sister Kim and half-sister Kylie Jenner, said they had stopped publishing content to their various popular mobile apps and their official websites.
"As a family, we've decided to hold off on publishing content across our apps while we continue to support and pray for Lamar," read a statement on a black background posted on all of their sites.
"Thank you for your kindness and understanding during this difficult time."
The Kardashians are the most famous family on reality television and collectively have tens of millions of followers on Twitter, Instagram and other social media applications, posting pictures and content several times a day.
Neither the Kardashians nor Odom's representatives have given any official updates on the athlete's condition since he collapsed on Tuesday (October 13) at a brothel in Nevada, where authorities said he had used cocaine and so-called herbal Viagra. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
