In a lengthy post on Instagram, Khloe Kardashian said she “could not survive” without her sisters and hailed the “beautiful memories” they made together.
She wrote: “To the girl who can make anyone feel as if the universe is on their side.
“To the girl who makes everyone and anyone feel special and seen. You are a safe space. A space of love and serenity…. Happy birthday sweet @kyliejenner.
“I know you don’t need me to tell you this but, Never stop being exactly who you are. You are love, peace, patience, grace, understanding, I can go on and on. You are the salt of the Earth.”
She added: “My biggest wish is that you understand how important you are on this planet.
“How many lives you have changed simply by being you and to take advantage of the chances we get to create beautiful memories with one another.
“After all, memories are all we have at the end of the day.”

“I can’t wait to see what you do next!!
“I love you, my baby girl more than you will ever know, and I thank God every day for choosing me to be your mommy!”
The Instagram post also comprised video clips, some from when Kylie was a baby.
Kylie’s sister Kendall Jenner also sent birthday wishes to the 26-year-old, in an Instagram story which read: “Happy birthday my tiny baby sister.”
