Alaibadi who is an OB-GYN at Cedars Sinai Medical Center announced the news of the reality star’s donation in an Instagram post.
She wrote: “I am speechless, my eyes are filled with tears of joy and my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude.

“One of my patients, a beautiful Living Angel just donated $1,000,000 to help us buy hundreds of thousands of masks, face shields, and other protective gear which we will have delivered directly to our first responders, as too many masks at hospitals are disappearing before making their way onto the faces of our front line heroes,”
Kylie responded to the message by dropping a heartfelt comment on the post: “i love you! and thank YOU for all the love and care you put into everything that you do! you’re an angel on earth.”
