In a recent update from The Sun, an exclusive source stated:

"Kendall and Kylie each had six massive bodyguards with them...The area they were in was enclosed - where people had the family passes."

Kylie Jenner attended her partner Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival with her elder sister Kendall and three-year-old daughter Stormi.

Their source also alleged that the two sisters walked past the victims as medical professionals resuscitated them. However, Kylie insists she learned about the mishap after they exited the NRG garden.

The Sun's source added,

"They kept their heads down and made sure no one saw their faces. They were doing everything so that no one would notice them and were covered up so no one could see their reaction."
