Kim and Khloé Kardashian have hit back at critics, after they were accused of not donating to Australian fire relief.
Over the past few days, the Kardashian-Jenner family have encouraged their millions of followers to donate what they can to help fight the Australian bushfires.
However, the famous family were then accused of not donating any money themselves in a particularly nasty tweet, which read: “Nothing gets me more heated than to see the Kardashians/Jenners talk about climate change/wildfires & not donate even a penny.”
Much to their surprise, Kim responded by tweeting: “Nothing gets me more heated than to see people think they know what we donated to and to think we have to publicise everything.”

Showing support for her sister, Khloé retweeted Kim’s statement, and added a quote from the Modern King James Version of the Bible.
Khloe wrote: “Therefore when you do your merciful deeds, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.”
In another tweet, the reality star said: “We often bring attention to causes and ways you can donate. It’s our job to bring awareness to situations so we all can help as a human race.”
“We Frequently post/speak about organisations/websites where we can all help save our planet.”

“Good deeds should be done with intention and not for attention. We are all blessed to be able to bless others even if it is in the slightest way.”
“But we do not need to be boastful about that. Be boastful in regards to teaching others how they may be able to help as well,” Khloe added.

A host of famous faces have donated millions to help fight the devastating wildfires in Australia.
Chris and Liam Hemsworth have donated $1 million, US singer Pink has pledged $500k, and Australian comedian Celeste Barber has managed to raise almost $40 million through an online fundraiser.
According to the latest reports, approximately 200 fires continue to burn across New South Wales and Victoria, destroying millions of acres of land.
Thousands have been forced to flee their homes, and it’s believed at least 24 people have been killed, with many others still unaccounted for.
According to ecologists from the University of Sydney, half a billion mammals, birds and reptiles have been killed in the fires since September.
