LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Kardashian family has received a lot of praise and good wishes online after it was revealed that they donated meals to firefighters amid the Southern California wildfires.

Just a few days back, Kim Kardashian was reportedly trolled for sharing about her Skims brand while the wildfires were creating havoc.

But the narrative changed after Carousel Restaurant—an LA-based eatery serving up authentic Lebanese dishes —posted on its Instagram page that the Kardashian family collaborated with them and gave back to their community by donating meals, as reported by Parade.

Restaurant thanks Kardashian family for their generosity

The hotspot wrote, “We proudly delivered meals to several fire stations today 🚒Thank you to the frontline members for your dedication to your communities. A special thank you to the Kardashian family for funding the meals—your generosity knows no bounds.”

It also shared photos of Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) members and the meals they served.

Besides, Khloe shared on her now-disappeared Instagram Story on Thursday, January 9, that she and her family “feed a few fire houses today and we couldn’t think of a better restaurant to reach out to other than @carouselrestaurant.”

“Our favorite Armenian restaurant! They whipped up hundreds of individual meals for so many firefighters, volunteers, first responders, and we could not be more thankful! Thank you for putting your lives on the line for all of us!” she added, as per Page Six.

Internet reacts to Kardashians' deed

People soon jumped into the comment section of the Carousel Restaurant’s post to hail the Kardashians, who have reportedly evacuated their homes in Los Angeles because of the fires.

A fan of the famous clan wrote, “Kardashians always help others ❤️❤️.”

Another one said, “Well done to the kardashians! Honestly such an amazing thing to do! Helping everyone whenever they can is one of the reasons I love them! I am praying for everyone in LA to stay safe during these fires.”

A third one shared, “Say what you want about the Kardashians but their generosity is something else.”

A person wrote, “What a lovely gesture ❤️❤️❤️ and just because they don’t post it , doesn’t mean they haven’t donated 💰 not really anyone’s business.”

Another one added, “Thank you Kardashian and Jenner family for this generous generosity to the women and men on the front lines 🙏🏾.”

“Thank you Kardashians👏❤️,” a comment simply read.

Kim Kardashian called out for posting about Skims

A Los Angeles-based writer and comedian dubbed Kim “unhinged” as she continued to market her Skims brand on social media while the fires were destroying homes and lives, as reported by Newsweek.

Meredith Lynch posted on her Instagram page, “Absolutely unhinged that @kimkardashian whose businesses and livelihood have and continue to be LA based is legit posting @skims stories while thousands of people and animals have lost everything.”

“If you have a platform like hers you should be posting resources @losangelesfiredepartment @watchdutyapp she is a freak,” she claimed.

Also, Lynch can be heard saying in the online clip that “LA is burning down and Kimberly Noel is literally posting, telling us to go buy Skims. This is her Instagram stories right now, just put them up.”

“It is wild to me, we are living in the end of days right now. That is what's happening because these billionaires, they just know that they're so unaffected that they don't care,” she added.

Lynch's post was supported by many with comments, like “She has never cared and it's appalling how ppl keep supporting her,” “She only cares for herself,” and “She sold her soul to the Dev!L she doesn’t care.”

However, there were a few who did not leave Kim’s side with one commenting, “Stop. You have no idea what she’s doing, you don’t know her. Instead of posting this, flood your timeline with resources and donate.”

Another one added at the time, “I’m not a Kim fan and I don’t own anything Skims. I’m sure that these were set up automatically to post. Other than complaining about everyone else, are you going to post more resources for people?”
