She bore the brunt of yet another backlash last week after it was revealed she and husband Kanye West paid private firefighters to save their £46m mansion amid the devastating blaze that swept through Los Angeles earlier this month – leading to a death toll of 79 and causing thousands to lose their homes.

PUBLIC OUTCRY

And fans were quick to blast Kim Kardashian, 38, dubbing her “selfish” and “disgusting” for hiring emergency services to save her Hidden Hills home, while so many others suffered. One wrote online, “Very sad. I didn’t even think the Kardashians could get any lower.” While another said, “These ‘private’ firefighters have a higher duty to protect everyone, not just Kim and her fancy neighbours. It’s disgusting.”

The public outcry continued, with one post reading, “How selfish. Only for their house. So these private firefighters do it for money and have allowed the poor people’s houses to burn down. They can’t replace them like these low-life celebs.” Another said, “So Kim tweets God is good after paying private firefighters to save her home. How is that showing God is good. That’s insulting to the other people who lost their lives and homes in this tragedy. God wasn’t good to them.”

But friends insisted it was part of Kim’s household insurance policy to deploy private firefighters to save her home, as well as many of her neighbours’ properties.
