Odom was placed in a medically-induced coma after being found unresponsive at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada on Tuesday.
Upon hearing news of Odom’s hospitalization after an alleged drug overdose, estranged wife Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian all reportedly rushed to Nevada to be with Odom.
Khloe, along with mum Kris Jenner and sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, dropped their responsibilities to fly out to Sin City to be by Lamar’s bedside. His prognosis has not improved and a few outlets have reported that, even if Lamar survives, he will be brain dead.
“Believing in the power of prayer for this attractive soul”, she wrote.
Witnesses who called 911 told dispatchers that Odom had also been using cocaine as early as Saturday, when he checked in, and that he had not finished a bottle of cognac he ordered over the weekend.
On life in a Las Vegas hospital his children and other loved ones by his side, ABC’s kayna Whitworth is in Las Vegas for us this morning.
A source tells ET that there have been encouraging moments.
After her family and she requested the brothel owner to avoid speaking to the press, he told them to “go to hell” and this can be how Khloe answered. People also reported that his close family and friends were preparing to say “goodbye”, as, sadly, the situation wasn’t looking good.
With Kardashian and Odom’s divorce not yet official, she is still considered his next of kin and has the power to make any and all medical decisions. We appreciate everyone respecting our privacy at this time. “It’s sad, you know, but still we asked for everybody to pray for him and we’re going to keep on”.
