Bruce Jenner confirmed that he is transitioning to a woman in a televised interview with Diane Sawyer on Friday night.
While the two-hour interview special featured his four eldest children (Burt, Cassandra, Brandon and Brody), his youngest, Kendall and Kylie, did not appear on the show, but issued a statement of support.
"We love our dad very much. He has the biggest heart and all we want is for him to be happy," the girls said in a statement to Diane Sawyer. "If he's happy, we're happy."
