Watch: Kendall Jenner Is So Happy For Bruce

Kendall Jenner may not be home watching the Keeping Up With the Kardashians: About Bruce special tonight with her family, but she's there in spirit.

The brunette stunner stepped out on the red carpet tonight at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards—looking drop-dead gorgeous in a Balmain creation, we might add—and spoke with E! News about how proud she is of her father.

(At this time, Bruce Jenner is choosing to not live publicly in the media as a woman and will be referred to as Bruce Jenner and with male pronouns until he specifies otherwise.)

"Honestly, I've never seen him happier," she told Giuliana Rancic when asked about Bruce Jenner's decision to speak publically about his transition.

"That alone makes me so happy. To see him so happy and to see him going through this and staying so strong and really thinking about his kids is amazing."

Earlier this month, the runway model further gushed about her famous father during a preview clip of the special, saying, "He's the most amazing person I know. I couldn't ask for a better dad. He taught me how to ride a bike and be the tomboy that I am."

Part One of the E! special premieres Sunday, May 17, at 9:00 p.m.

Part Two follows Monday, May 18, at 9:00 p.m.
