As the fire drew closer, the Kardashians had no choice but to flee. Their luxurious homes in Hidden Hills and Calabasas, located just a few miles apart, faced the threat of devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
The Kenneth Fire in Hidden Hills spread rapidly, prompting the evacuation of the famous family. Late Wednesday night, residents were urged to leave their homes immediately.

“If You Stay, You Will Die”
Senator Adam Schiff issued a stark warning: “If you stay, you will die.” He added, “You may think you can outrun a fire, but you cannot.”
The Kardashian-Jenners, globally renowned thanks to their reality show (pictured in 2011), were among those forced to evacuate.
The Kenneth Fire, covering over 400 hectares, threatened the Malibu Canyon area north of the 101 Freeway, where Kourtney Kardashian resides. Kim, Khloé, and their mother, Kris Jenner, live in the nearby small town of Hidden Hills. Kendall (29) and Kylie Jenner (27), the youngest of the siblings, also had to flee the advancing flames.
The fire is currently 35% contained. Police confirmed that the blaze was started by an alleged arsonist, who is now in custody.

Gratitude and Support from Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner also addressed her followers on Instagram, saying, “Cannot express enough gratitude for our hardworking firefighters. Thank you for what you do, our heroes. I’m praying for the families who lost their homes. Stay safe.”
The Kardashian family has been donating meals to first responders since the fires began. The Instagram page of the Armenian-Lebanese Carousel Restaurant shared photos of meals delivered to firefighters, funded by the Kardashian clan.
