TMZ sources claim that Khloe went with Tristan to "comfort" him during his loss.
The Good American designer was also said to be close to Andrea, and like the rest of the Kardashian family, she would always stand by a loved one during their most trying hour.
Fans are aware that Tristan and Khloe's relationship has been on-again, off-again since their initial meeting in 2016.
