Kim Kardashian West hails JoJo Siwa as a 'ray of sunshine'

Kim Kardashian West has hailed JoJo Siwa as a "ray of sunshine" in a "scary" world.

The star has paid tribute to the teenage YouTuber and described her as a "positive figure" for young people to look up to.

Writing in TIME magazine, she said JoJo is a ray of sunshine in a world that seems scary right now. She added as a parent, you want your kids to admire positive figures and here's no one more positive than JoJo.

The 17-year-old star - who was on hand to "babysit" North in a YouTube video last year - has been named as one of the publication's 100 Most influential People of 2020.

Kim also insisted the former 'Dance Moms' star is a great role model for children, and her optimism is more necessary now than ever.
