Angela Kukawski, 55, was reported missing from Sherman Oaks on December 22, according to police.
She was later found dead inside her car in the 1500 block of Patricia Ave in Simi Valley.
“Angela is truly the absolute best. She cares about each and every one of us and makes the impossible happen,” the Kardashian-Jenner family said in a statement to CNN. “She will be greatly missed and we send our sincere condolences to her family and loved ones during this most difficult time.”
According to the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office, Kukawski suffered trauma and strangulation.
Authorities arrested Jason Barker, Kukawski’s 49-year-old boyfriend, on suspicion of murder.
Detectives allege that Barker killed Kukawski in their Sherman Oaks home, placing her in his car before taking her body to Simi Valley and leaving the car there.
He was booked into Van Nuys Jail and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed murder and torture charges against him.
Barker is scheduled to appear in court on January 12.
It is not yet known whether Barker will retain the attorney.
On Wednesday, Minaj took to her Instagram stories to post a tribute to Kukawski.
Minaj wrote: “Hardest working, most reliable, sweetest you will ever know. “You don’t deserve this Angela. My heart is broken for your children. Rest in peace.”
Offset has also posted stories on its IG.
“RIP Angie, lover, you have helped me so much,” he wrote. “Talking to you every week, I don’t believe (sic) SMH prayers for your soul.”
