KYLIE Jenner has been slammed for taking eight flights on her private jet since the Los Angeles wildfires began.
Reality star Kylie, 27, who recently headed to Paris with her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet, 29, is facing backlash after sharing a statement about relief efforts for the disasters.
The post came just hours after her plane completed its eleventh flight since January 1st.
The billionaire, who has previously come under fire for excessive private jet use, has yet to make changes to reduce her emissions in 2025, even as public pressure grows on celebrities like her sister, Kim Kardashian, to cut back.
Kylie’s $72 million Bombardier Global 7500 jet has flown 11 times this year, including three flights on January 16 alone.
According to CelebrityJets, these flights have emitted approximately 162 tons of CO2, which the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator equates to the electricity use of 33 homes for one year.

Four of the flights lasted less than an hour, with one shockingly short 15-minute journey emitting one ton of CO2 and consuming 120 gallons of jet fuel.
Since the wildfires began on January 7th, the jet has taken off eight times.
On January 9th, it completed one of its shortest trip - a 15-minute flight between Los Angeles and Camarillo, California.
Three days later, Kylie flew for 36 minutes to Palm Springs, adding three more tons of CO2 emissions.
That same evening, Kylie jetted to London to support Timothee at the premiere of his Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown.
Ironically, Timothée arrived at the event on a Lime bike, eschewing a car for a more eco-friendly option.

After the screening, the couple took a 47-minute flight to Paris, France.
This trip emitted four tons of CO2 and consumed 361 gallons of jet fuel, costing approximately $2,000 - nearly six times the price of a premier Eurostar ticket for the same route, which takes under three hours.
On her return to the U.S., Kylie’s jet made three flights in a single day, stopping in Fargo, North Dakota, Rifle, Colorado, and finally Teterboro, New Jersey.
Around the same time, Kylie posted a statement from her Kylie Cosmetics Instagram account, promising to donate “skincare, body, hair, and makeup products” to help fire victims in Altadena.
In the post, Kylie said, “We are truly heartbroken to see the devastation caused by the fires in Los Angeles.
"Watching so many people forced to evacuate and hearing the stories of those who have lost everything is deeply saddening and difficult to comprehend.”
However, the post - which garnered 21,000 likes - sparked outrage among her followers.
One commented, “Taking a private jet to Paris, which contributes to the warmer weather and wildfires in LA, and then putting a bandaid on middle-class LA fire victims with your lotion, is horrific. Use your power accordingly.”
Another critic on Reddit labeled Kylie’s actions as “performative,” saying, “Kylie sharing donation links is performative. She’s been using her jet for days while the fires are still happening. Worms for brains.”
This isn’t the first time Kylie has been called out for her environmental impact.
In 2022, she faced criticism for a 12-minute private jet flight—a 26-mile journey that would have taken 39 minutes by car.
Kylie’s jet use has remained prolific. She reportedly took 195 flights in 2024, according to CelebrityJets.
Her private jet is customized with Hermès blankets on every seat and cost her nearly $72.8 million in 2020.
Environmental activists have also targeted other stars for excessive private jet use.
Pop star Taylor Swift was named the biggest celebrity CO2 polluter of 2022, while Kim has faced similar scrutiny for her flying habits.
Wildfires – what are they?
Here's what you need to know...
- A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire that typically occurs in large rural areas of vegetation
- Types of wildfire include brush fires, bush fires, desert fires, forest fires and peat fires
- Fossilised evidence suggests that wildfires began soon after land plants appeared 420million years ago
- Wildfires can destroy large areas of vegetation, and also threaten human property and life
- They are common on Earth due to the carbon-rich vegetation, dry climates, high levels of atmospheric oxygen, and widespread lightning
- Serious wildfires are hard to control and supress, as they can spread unpredictably and move quickly over large areas
- Wind can also be a major factor in the fast spread of wildfires
