"I miss my best friend @robkardashian," Khloe captioned alongside the photo.
Rob has kept a low profile in recent months, particularly since the wedding of his sister Kim and rapper Kanye West. On May 24 the sock designer, who is admittedly struggling with his weight, abruptly fled Italy ahead of the lavish nuptials after a reported family dispute. His mother Kris Jenner recently opened up about his troubles.
"Rob is living in L.A. right now, he is doing well finding out what makes him tick," Jenner told E! News.
"He is struggling with some stuff but my job is to be there for him and love him as hard as I can," she explained, adding that "everyone goes through stuff and we get through each other's adversity one year at a time."
On May 19, Rob began trending on Twitter after a series of unflattering photos revealed his substantial weight gain. Hashtags like #robkardashian followed by #WeLoveYouRob were still trending the following day which prompted him to speak out and defend himself.
"So i found out i was trending for being fat... thank you all it really made my day," Kardashian tweeted to his 4 million followers.
Khloe, who is renowned for speaking her mind on twitter, did just that in her brother's defense and urged critics to back off. Insiders claim the reality TV star was hurt after witnessing haters mock Rob about his weight.
"She's so protective of her family and took a moment to cry on her flight to Paris just thinking about how awful Rob must feel," a source told HollywoodLife.com. "She cried for him because she knows somewhere he's lost touch and let his weight get out of control."
Rob revealed that he is aware of his appearance and said that he has plans to work on his health in due course.
"I'm aware that I'm fat that def aint a surprise to me lol and my only therapy will be in the gym anyways had to say somethingggggggggg," he tweeted. "I'm a grown man and will work on myself when i choose."
