Khloe Kardashian has broken her silence over Lamar Odom, taking to her website to thank fans for their support.

The KUWTK star has been by her estranged husband's side since he was hospitalised last week, after being found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel.

"The past week has been incredibly difficult...I am so thankful to family, friends, and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar," Khloe wrote in a statement.

"I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at Sunrise Hospital, including the amazing doctors and nurses for their kindness and diligent work. Under their amazing care, incredible strides have been made. You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure. Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!!"

Lamar has now been transferred back to a Los Angeles hospital for further treatment, as doctors begin to assess the damage of his drug overdose.
