Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are reportedly getting close again after the death of the latter's best friend. According to a report from Us Weekly, the alleged drug overdose of Jamie Sangouthai was a wakeup call for the former NBA star.

"When he found out Jamie died, he was devastated," a source said about Lamar Odom.

"He feels like it could have happened to him. This is a huge wake-up call for him. It has really shaken him."

"They were best friends, like brothers. Lamar is going to take this really hard," another insider added about Jamie Sangouthai's closeness with Lamar Odom.

According to a report from Hollywood Life, Khloe Kardashian reached out to Lamar Odom upon learning about Jamie Sangouthai's death.

"Khloe tracked Lamar down and has been talking to him," a source revealed.

"She's been amazing, listening to Lamar's pain and being a shoulder to cry on. She's been his emotional rock during this heartbreaking tragedy."

"The one good thing that could come out of this is that Lamar has a newfound appreciation for Khloe. He's completely crushed right now and she's there for him. It's making him love her all over again," an insider shared.

The support being given by the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star to her estranged husband followed rumors that she has given up on their marriage. The two separated in 2013 after Khloe Kardashian discovered Lamar Odom's alleged extramarital affairs and substance abuse issues.

A source recently told Life and Style magazine why the 30-year-old star allegedly finally decided to dump the troubled athlete for good.

"Lamar had really cut back [using drugs] because he wanted to reconcile with Khloé so badly... [but] Lamar has fallen off the rails again," a source explained.

"She knows she is totally in love with a drug addict but she's now realizing it's time to move on and divorce him."

"Now Khloé's kicking herself for falling for his bulls--- lies," the source claimed about Khloe Kardashian leaving Lamar Odom for his substance abuse problems.
