Jenner, 22, said on Twitter that she was sick
and unable to travel to Paris to launch the collection as
planned on Friday with Balmain Creative Director Olivier
Rousteing.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star did not give details
of her illness but celebrity website TMZ.com said she was
admitted to a Los Angeles area hospital earlier this week with
what an unidentified source described as severe flu-like
symptoms, including nausea and dizziness.
Jenner's representatives did not return a request for comment on
Wednesday.
"Unfortunately I'm really sick and unable to travel. I'm
heartbroken to be missing this show ... Creating this collection
with Olivier has been a dream," she said on Twitter.
Jenner, whose lip gloss kits and other cosmetics have made her a
billionaire, was due to launch the Kylie X Balmain line of
eyeshadows, lip liner and lip gloss on Friday at the Paris
fashion show. The line is to be worn by Balmain models walking
the runway for the Spring Summer 2020 collection.
Jenner was also absent from the Emmy awards show in Los Angeles
on Sunday where she was due to present an award with Kim
Kardashian and her model sister Kendall.
