Robert died of esophageal cancer in 2003, just two months after he was first diagnosed. He was 59. 

In February, the 40-year-old reality star took to social media to honor her late father on his birthday with a touching post. 

"Happy Birthday Dad!" the mother of four wrote. "I celebrate you every single day but today even more."

Kim went on to share that she's been eager to talk to her father, writing, "So much to tell you! I called your cell phone number just wondering if anyone would pick up after all these years. I actually can’t believe I remembered it." 

She concluded her post with a request, writing, "Please come visit me in a dream soon. 🙏🏼  Also can you pretty please send down a sign in the form of those symbols/birds we always talked about?!?! I just miss you sooooo much!"

In celebration of her own birthday, last year, Kim's estranged husband, Kanye West, gifted Kim a hologram of her dad.

"For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad," Kim said of the 40th birthday surprise. "It is so lifelike! We watched it over and over, filled with emotion."

"I can’t even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mom and closest friends to experience together. Thank you so much Kanye for this memory that will last a lifetime. Here’s a more close up view to see the incredible detail," she added alongside another video.
