Never mind Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Lamar Odom can't escape them! The former NBA star has been separated from Khloe Kardashian for more than a year, but after months of being estranged, RadarOnline.com has learned they are back in touch following the death of his best friend, Jamie Sangouthai.
Odom has been reeling from the devastating news that Sangothai died of a reported overdose and he quickly hopped on a plane from Las Vegas to LA for the funeral Monday afternoon.
Since then, "Kris and Khloe have both spoken to Lamar," a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. "They are trying to console him. They really want to make sure that he is ok right now and that he knows that they will do anything for him."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Odom spent the flight to LA drinking vodka and popping Xanax. But the source said Kardashian and Jenner are fully prepared to help him now.
