Khloe Kardashian was just one of many friends and family members to mourn the death of rapper Chinx, who was killed in a drive-by this weekend.

The hip hop star also known as Chinx Drugz was killed in Queens, N.Y.

According to ABC News, he was driving a friend to a subway station when he suffered multiple gunshot wounds inside a Porsche. He was 31.

Khloe knew him because he was a member of French Montana’s Coke Boys crew, and Khloe and French have dated on and off for over a year.

It’s not clear what their current relationship status is, but what is clear is that the death of Chinx hit French incredibly hard – and Khloe too.

"We’ve only known each other a short time but it was the best time," Khloe wrote on Instagram. "Full of memories that I will cherish forever!"

"I miss you Chinxy ???? #TheWolfPack #RIPChinx."

The images featured the late rapper, real name, Lionel Pickens with Khloe and French, along with Chinx’s wife and Khloe’s BFF Malika Haqq.

Her brother Rob Kardashian also paid tribute, saying: "Gone way too soon ,,,,, rest in peace CHINX,,, another brother gone ,,, this is terrible."

On Monday, his wife Janelli Pickens, with whom he had two daughters, 14 and 11, and a 4-year-old son, spoke out about the tragedy as well.

"It is a hard time, we are going through a lot," Janelli told ABC. "It’s a very devastating situation, his kids are greatly affected. They don’t quite understand."

"For his son, who doesn’t understand why God’s angels have come and taken his father, he just wants to know when he’s going to bring him back."

"It’s hard, it’s been very hard."

Khloe Kardashian was originally expected to introduce Kanye West at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, but her sisters went instead.

Right around when the crowd booed Kylie and Kendall Jenner, she posted emoji of a broken heart before sharing her update about Chinx.

She then proceeded to live-tweet Keeping Up With the Kardashians‘ "About Bruce" special, which showed her getting extremely emotional.

"Such an emotional KUWTK special tonight. This was filmed incredibly raw and rough. Please take in this is hard for us all to live on TV," she tweeted.

"We are all transitioning," the reality star said in support of Bruce Jenner. "I’m proud to be finally doing it together ?????????? #Family #KUWTK."

Quite the weekend she had.
