Kylie Jenner continues to do her part during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 22-year-old billionaire has donated $1 million dollars to help in the fight against the deadly virus sweeping the globe.
The money, which she donated to her OB-GYN, will help fund the cost of hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear.
“I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude,” Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi posted to Instagram on Wednesday. “I made a wish to the Universe to gather protective masks for our brave healthcare workers and today my dream came true.”
She added of Jenner, “One of my patients, a beautiful Living Angel just donated $1,000,000 to help us buy hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear which we will have delivered directly to our first responders, as too many masks at hospitals are disappearing before making their way onto the faces of our front line heroes.”
The doctor went on to say that she has “never felt more blessed to be a doctor.”
“From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU @kyliejenner ❤️,” she wrote. “You are my hero. This generous donation will help save many precious lives. Our world is a better place with you in it. I love you so much. Thank you X a million.”
The Kylie Cosmetics founder responded to the post, thanking her doctor for her work.
“i love you! and thank YOU for all the love and care you put into everything that you do!” she wrote. “you’re an angel on earth.”
Jenner’s rep told Page Six, “I can confirm that she did make the donation.”
Dr. Aliabadi delivered Jenner’s daughter Stormi, according to TMZ.
Jenner has also been vocal about the importance of practicing social distancing after the Surgeon General asked for her help in spreading awareness.
“The coronavirus is a real thing,” Jenner noted in an Instagram post made last week. “I listened to the Surgeon General this morning…he definitely encouraged me to come on here and talk to you guys.”
“Please stay inside. Practice social distancing, self-quarantine,” Jenner went on to note. “If you live with your parents, you don’t want to go home and get your parents sick. You might have it and not even know and be infecting other people. It’s serious and the only way that we’re gonna slow this down is if we do this because there is not a cure right now.”
