Khloe Kardashian has defended her sister Kim after the reality star was trolled over her ‘tone-deaf’ birthday holiday posts.
Kim, who turned 40 on October 21, shared pictures of her lavish beach-themed birthday celebrations, which saw her fly family members and her famous friend to a private island.
And the reality star found herself getting criticism from social media users for sharing the post at a time when people couldn’t do the same due to the ongoing pandemic.
During her appearance on Thursday’s The Ellen Show, Khloe confirmed there had been 25 people in attendance as she explained: ‘Nobody knew where they were going until we were on the plane, and it was so special.
‘We just knew it was tropical. We were told to pack three nice outfits for dinner…but other than that we had no idea and it was the coolest experience to be that surprised.’
Ellen then pointed out that Kim had received a lot of backlash on social media for sharing multiple images from the getaway.
To which Khloe replied: ‘I hadn’t heard a lot about it…but I did hear that people were upset that we all went out of town. I don’t really know the extent of it. This year is a frustrating year, I get it.
‘There’s so many frustrations going on but it’s also her 40th and this is something she really wanted to do for us and it was such a nice thing.’
She continued: ‘Being there with all the precautions we took, and people were so grateful for the tourism aspect of it.
‘So many people said we were their first ‘party’ or guests in months, and what it’s done from them to be able to pay their bills or to do stuff for their family. So just hearing those messages when we were there was really good.’
The reality star insisted: ‘We felt so safe. We did it in the safest way we could imagine doing it. It was such a beautiful experience and I want Kim to focus on how beautiful it was and what she did for everybody.’
Khloe’s comment came after her mother Kris Jenner also appeared to speak out in Kim’s defense.
The likes of Piers Morgan and The Walking Dead’s social media account all mocked the beauty mogul after her post went viral on Tuesday.
