Khloe Kardashian Rushes to Lamar Odom's Side After Tragedy

Khloe Kardashian is said to be understandably 'inconsolable' after ex-husband - two-time NBA champion Lamar Odom - was hospitalised in Las Vegas. Khloe dropped everything to be by his bedside, accompanied by Kim, and their mum Kris, as well as brother Rob and Scott Disick. Kylie Jenner, meanwhile, reportedly ended live stream on her new app upon hearing the news, while Kobe Bryant also reportedly left a game early.

According to Us Weekly, the 35-year-old Lakers legend, "who has battled substance abuse issues in the past, was found unconscious on Tuesday afternoon by two women he was partying with, Ryder Cherry and Madison, at the Love Ranch South in Pahrump."

Love Ranch South owner Dennis Hof noted that "He said he was just trying to get away from people so he could have some time to himself without the pressures of being who he is". Hof also stated that while there was "there were no signs of drugs", Odom was reportedly "taking herbal viagra." He added to NBC News: "It's a real shock. It's terrible that our business is being disrupted. Here's a guy who just wanted to have a good time and be private, and it's tragic."

According to authorities, "Odom was treated first at Desert View Hospital in the nearby town of Pahrump before being taken by ambulance to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, about 60 miles away. Arrangements had been made to fly Odom to the Las Vegas hospital, but he was too tall to fit in the helicopter."

Yahoo, meanwhile, have just reported that his "heart is failing."

Khloe and Lamar got married after a month of dating back in 2009. Their divorce was finalised in July after Kardashian filed for it back in 2013. The pair reportedly still care for each other and speak regularly.
