Kanye West gifts wife Kim Kardashian a hologram of her later father Robert for her 40th birthday

Kanye West presents wife Kim Kardashian with a hologram of her late father Robert for star’s 40th birthday: ‘It is so lifelike!’

Kim Kardashian received what she described as ‘the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime’ from her husband Kanye West in celebration of her 40th birthday.

The gift happened to be a hologram of Kim’s late father Robert Kardashian, who tragically passed away from esophageal cancer in July of 2003 at the age of 59.

‘A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad. ✨ It is so lifelike! We watched it over and over, filled with emotion,’ wrote the KUWTK star, who shared a video of the hologram with her Twitter followers on Thursday.

In a follow-up post, Kim wrote that she ‘can’t even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mom and closest friends to experience together.’

‘Thank you so much Kanye for this memory that will last a lifetime. Here’s a more close up view to see the incredible detail,’ concluded the KKW Beauty founder, who reupoaded the original clip in higher quality. 

The two-minute and 30-second video showed the late Kardashian patriarch rocking a beige suit jacket layered over a crisp white dress shirt as he seemingly spoke directly to Kim.
