Watch: Kanye West Surprises Kim Kardashian With Hologram of Late Father

Is someone chopping onions—because we can't stop tearing up. 

More likely it's this video of Kim Kardashian and her famous family members. As fans may recall, in honor of the reality star's 40th birthday in October, her husband Kanye West continued to set the bar for unique gifts when he surprised her with a hologram of her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr. At the time, the star shared a video of the present—described by her as a "hologram from heaven." However, fans have now gotten to see how the mom of four, her sisters and matriarch Kris Jenner reacted to it when they saw it. 

In a since-deleted video the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star posted to Instagram, Kim, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Kris are seated all wiping away tears as the hologram ended. It appears Kim was also on the phone with Kanye and thanked him for the moving gift. Someone, seemingly Khloe, also asked if they could watch it again. 

The present was obviously appreciated by the birthday girl, who lost her dad in 2003, not long after he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. The famed member of O.J. Simpson's legal team was 59 when he died.

Kim Kardashian's 40th Birthday Trip

"For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime," Kim told fans in October. "A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad. It is so lifelike and we watched it over and over, filled with lots so tears and emotion. I can't even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mom and closest friends to experience together. Thank you so much Kanye for this memory that will last a lifetime."

The hologram also came with a message for the aspiring lawyer that clearly tugged at her heartstrings. "Happy Birthday Kimberly. Look at you. You're 40 and all grown up. You look beautiful just like when you were a little girl. I watch over you and your sisters and brother and the kids every day," the hologram said in part. "I am so proud of the woman you've become, Kimberly, and all that you've accomplished."

Recalling the experience, Kris told Andy Cohen during a radio interview, "We just all started to cry. It was so intense, but I must have watched it 20 times. It was really good. [Kanye] is the king of gifts and he worked on that for a really long time, so it was definitely one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. It was really wild."
