His wife, Kourtney Kardashian, was by his side when he was transported from the West Hills hospital to Cedars-Senai Medical Center by ambulance. Though no one in his immediate family has publicly commented on his health issues, his daughter posted and deleted a picture holding her father’s hand while he was in the hospital bed. “Please say a prayer,” she captioned the post.
