Khloé Kardashian showed her charitable side on the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, as she reconnected with her homeless friend.
The reality star, 36, first met Shorty in the first season of the show and now that the programme is coming to an end, she instilled some nostalgia in viewers by reaching out and recruiting her family to help secure him an apartment.
After Khloé discovered from word of mouth that Shorty was working at Flip’s Coin Laundry in Los Angeles, she went in search of her friend yet the attempt was fruitless – before producers helped track him down in scenes shot last year.

Khloé heard he worked at Flip’s Coin Laundry in Los Angeles, and drove there with Kourtney. When she showed Shorty’s picture to a customer, he told her to ‘Get the f*** out of here.’ ‘Have a nice day,’ Khloé said, telling her sister, ‘What a buzzkill.’

The Kardashians later secured a rent-controlled apartment for Shorty, hoping to help him become more independent. ‘God does wonders,’ Shorty said, thankful that he’d ever met the family.
