Kylie Jenner expresses her fears after learning someone ‘close to home’ tested positive for COVID-19 in new KUWTK teaser: ‘It’s just scary’

They live in the COVID-19 hotspot of Los Angeles County.  

And Kylie Jenner was rattled to learn someone ‘so close to home’ tested positive for the virus. 

The reality star, 22, expressed her fears in a new teaser for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, without identifying the individual who contracted the disease.   

‘It’s just scary’: Kylie Jenner was rattled to learn someone ‘so close to home’ tested positive for the virus

‘It’s just scary when someone so close to home has tested positive,’ she said in an grim tone. 

This upcoming season will see the family coming to terms with the health crisis and locking down in their homes indefinitely.

The preview begins on a happy note, however, depicting the family’s glamorous, pre-pandemic life.

In those simpler times, Kris is heard telling the girls that she has to go to rehab after we see what appears to be footage of staggering around holding a giant bottle of vodka, though it is unclear if this is just some sort of prank.

Kim is then seen getting stressed as she visits husband Kanye West’s fashion show in Paris as she struggles to make it on time.

However, then Kim’s voiceover shifts the tone of the clip when she says: ‘The White House says that the coronavirus is serious.’ 

The family begin filming themselves using their iPhones as they hunker down at home.

We also see the gang in various states of distress as they grapple with social distancing and self-isolating between their many homes in Los Angeles, California.

Things end with Kris getting emotional saying she’s missing her daughters, as Khloe posts a video from her bed promising: ‘We’re going to get through this.’
