On November 15, 2018, model Kim Porter was found dead in her home. After her death, a medical examiner revealed she died from lobar pneumonia. Porter died at 47.

Porter's death came as a shock to her loved ones, and two years after her death, they still miss her presence. Her close friend Kimora Lee Simmons is one of those people.

Following Porter's death two years ago, Simmons also posted a touching tribute where she detailed her anguish, heartbreak, and love for her close friend.

Diddy and Porter were still very close friends and co-parents, even though their romantic relationship did not work.

In that post, Simmons shared a series of flashback pictures documenting her and Porter's friendship, adding a long caption describing the moment she learned of the latter's passing.

She revealed she initially thought news of Porter's death was a joke and rushed to her house along with her daughter, Aoki, hoping to tell her to get up and come outside. However, she soon realized Porter would not come out, confirming her worst fears.

In her lifetime, Porter dated rapper and music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs and was the mother of four of his children. Diddy was also devastated after his ex-girlfriend's death.

A source told People then that Diddy and Porter were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship did not work. The source further said they were still a family.

"QUEEN KIM PORTER!! @ladykp ... IRREPLACEABLE ... LOVE YOU FOREVER ❤️."

After two years, Porter's memory still lives on in her loved ones' hearts and minds, which shows that even though she is not in the world today, she will never be forgotten. May her soul continue to rest in peace.
