Although the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star travelled with the West Family to the Happiest Place on Earth, the happiness bug may have failed to work its magic on her.
"Khloé was too upset over Jamie dying. She wasn't there," "E! News" reported, as it quoted a highly reliable source.

Jamie Sangouthai is Lamar Odom's best friend and Khloe's co-star in the reality TV series "Khloe and Lamar."

However, the mood of the 30-year-old television personality did not dampen the enthusiasm of the West Family who were joined by Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Mason Disick, Tyga and Kris Jenner.

They even billed the birthday celebration of
Kim Kardashianand Kanye West's daughter as the "North Disney Adventure."

Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian was among the very first people who posted about the tragic news on Sunday.

"When does it stop?" read a tweet made by Kris Jenner's daughter after she learned of Jamie's demise. "Life doesn't get easier but I promise you that life will make you stronger."

He passed away at the age 37.

"Thru good and bad times life shows us every spirit matters and leaves a print on the hearts of others after they have passed," she said in another Tweet with a throwback photo of her good friend. "RIP Jamie Sangouthai #GodHelpUsAll."

Jamie Sangouthai was a close family friend of the Kardashian family since 2008. In fact, the co-stars were gym bodies and were even seen working out together.

There was even a time when Lamar Odom's wife made fun of his best friend's name. "Working out with my boy Jamie Christopher Sangouthai. What a name! LOL," she tweeted once. "Got to get our abs together! Cardio cardio!"

Despite her deep sense of loss, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star is trying to move on as shown in her Instagram post three days ago.

"Hawaii you were great to us! Thank you for the memories. Beyond blessed and I thank God everyday for granting these beautiful blessings upon me. Life is good but even better when you experience it with fantastic people," she shared.


New episodes of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reality show will start airing on "E! Channel" later this year.
