The Kardashian clan had to escape the flames (from left): Kris Jenner (69), Kourtney (45), Khloé (40), and Kim Kardashian (44) left their homes in Hidden Hills and Calabasas.
The raging Kenneth Fire crept closer, licking the edges of Hidden Hills and Calabasas until even the Kardashians—America's most famous family—were forced to evacuate. Fueled by dry conditions and fierce winds, the flames threatened their multimillion-dollar estates, leaving them no choice but to evacuate under the direst of warnings.
The Kardashian-Jenners (here in 2011) became world famous with their reality show.
"If you stay, you will die," declared Senator Adam Schiff, his chilling words aimed at anyone tempted to defy evacuation orders. "You may think you can escape a fire, but you can't," he added grimly, underscoring the devastation wrought by the 400-hectare inferno that erupted in Hidden Hills and pushed north toward Malibu Canyon, where Kourtney Kardashian resides.
In Hidden Hills, Kris Jenner's property is on the left, and her daughter Khloé Kardashian's home is on the right.
Kim, Khloé, and Kris Jenner, the matriarch, fled their sprawling Hidden Hills homes. Kendall and Kylie Jenner, who live nearby, were also forced to abandon their luxury digs. Being at the mercy of nature's fury is a humbling equalizer for a family accustomed to red carpets and private jets.
Kim Kardashian purchased her property for $20 million, now believed to be worth over $60 million.
Though 35 percent of the fire is now contained, the chaos left in its wake is undeniable. Police confirmed the fire's suspected origin—a horrifying act of arson. The alleged culprit is in custody, but the damage has already been done.

Khloé Kardashian minced no words on Instagram, voicing her outrage: "What the hell is wrong with these people?!?! Arson!!!! May you be fully prosecuted!!! What scum!!!" Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner took a gentler tone, using her platform to applaud the tireless efforts of first responders: "Can't express enough gratitude for our hard-working firefighters. Thank you for what you do, our heroes. Praying for the families who have lost their homes. Stay safe."
Kylie Jenner acquired her property in 2020 for $15 million. The house is near the homes of her mother, Kris Jenner, and sister, Khloé, and is not far from Kim's residence.
True to their brand of blending personal drama with public generosity, the Kardashians have stepped up to support those on the front lines. Teaming up with the Armenian-Lebanese restaurant Carousel, the family has funded meals for firefighters, and heartwarming images of their efforts have been shared online.
New project: Billionaire Kylie Jenner's second house in the area, which Canadian architect Richard Landry is building on the largest plot in Hidden Hills of Calabasas.
Even in the face of destruction, the Kardashians prove they’re more than reality TV royalty—neighbors offering hope. As the Kenneth Fire continues its deadly march, this family saga reminds us that humanity can shine through in the ashes of tragedy.
