Reality TV stars the Kardashian's flee their Hidden Hills home in California after a wildfire broke out near their neighborhood.

The Kardashian family's matriarch, Kris, and her children, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie, and Rob, all left their homes due to a mandatory evacuation order issued after the Kenneth Fire.

Although the notice is said to have been lifted, it is unclear whether the reality TV family has returned to their homes.

The wildfires spread along Malibu's Pacific Coast highway is said to have destroyed more than 1000 structures and is threatening properties, including Kim Kardashian's oceanside side estate valued at $70 million.

This comes after Kim Kardashian was criticised for not speaking out about the wildfires but instead promoting her brand, SKIMS.

LA writer Meredith Lynch called out the SKIMS owner on social media, accusing her of prioritizing her brand over the wildfire crisis that has reportedly displaced thousands of people.

"LA is literally burning down and Kimberly Noel is posting, telling us to buy SKIMS, " Lynch said in an Instagram video.

Contrary to Kim's response to the fires, her sister, Khloé spoke up about the wildfires.

The Good American founder encouraged her audience to support their local fire stations by dropping off supplies.

The Kardashians are among several other Hollywood stars that have been impacted by the fire.

Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins reportedly lost his $6 million home; actors Adam Brody and Leighton Meester lost their $7 million mansion; and actress Anna Faris's $5 million home.

They are just a fraction of the many whose homes were blazed down by the wildfires.

As of January 11, 2025, the BBC reported that four wildfires are currently burning around Los Angeles, with two others now described as being contained.

"The largest of them is spreading east and now threatens the wealthy neighbourhood of Brentwood, where new evacuation orders have been issued,'' BBC said.

" At least 11 people have been killed so far and 13 others are missing The disaster has also led to more than 12,000 homes and other structures being destroyed since Tuesday.  Senior officials, including the mayor and fire chief, have defended their preparations and response to the fires.  A forecast for more strong winds, predicted to last until Wednesday, has raised fears the blazes could spread further,'' BBC said.
