Khloé Kardashian has publicly condemned an alleged arsonist in the wake of the devastating Kenneth fire that threatened homes in the Hidden Hills area of Los Angeles, where she and her family reside. In an impassioned Instagram story, Kardashian expressed her outrage, stating, “You sick… what the f*** is wrong with people? Arson, may you be fully prosecuted. What scum!”
The Kenneth fire broke out on January 9, prompting a swift response from local authorities. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) reported that a suspect was taken into custody in the nearby Woodland Hills area after witnesses claimed to have seen him attempting to ignite a fire. The LAPD has initiated an investigation but has yet to confirm any direct connection between the suspect and the fire.
In the midst of the chaos, Kardashian and her family took action by providing meals to firefighters, volunteers, and first responders from a favorite Armenian restaurant. She shared a post expressing gratitude for the dedication of those on the front lines, stating, “Thank you for putting your lives on the line for all of us.”
The Los Angeles wildfires have wreaked havoc in the region, with several celebrity homes being destroyed. The Kardashian-Jenner family, known for their high-profile lifestyle, found themselves in the path of the Kenneth fire. Fortunately, CalFire announced that all evacuation orders and warnings related to the fire were lifted by the evening of January 9, just hours after the blaze began.
The danger, however, was not limited to the Kenneth fire. Alabama Barker, the stepdaughter of Kardashian’s sister Kourtney, shared alarming videos of smoke billowing behind her home. She urged her Instagram followers to “please pray for our home,” as it was directly in the fire’s path. Just days prior, Alabama and her brother Landon had to evacuate due to the Palisades fire, which had spread rapidly, consuming over 2,900 acres and displacing more than 30,000 residents.
Kardashian and her family have been vocal about their support for those affected by the wildfires. In her posts, she expressed disbelief and sorrow over the destruction in the Pacific Palisades, stating, “This is so incredibly heart-wrenching. My heart is aching for all of Los Angeles.” She also highlighted the bravery and selflessness of the firefighters and volunteers working tirelessly to protect lives and communities across California.
As the fires continue to pose a threat to numerous neighborhoods, the Kardashian-Jenner family remains committed to raising awareness and providing support to affected residents. Khloé Kardashian concluded her heartfelt messages with a reminder of the importance of community and resilience in the face of disaster, stating, “I am so, so sorry for everyone who is affected in any way. My heart aches watching this.”
