Kylie Jenner has been labelled a ‘climate criminal’ after she posted a statement about relief efforts amid the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles just hours after her private jet made its 11th flight since January 1.
Despite the growing backlash against stars including her sister Kim Kardashian over excessive flying, the reality star-turned-business woman appears to have made no plans to minimise her usage in 2025.
In fact, her luxury £70 million aircraft has flown 11 times since the start of the year, with the jet making three flights in one day on January 16.
Based on statistics tracked by CelebrityJets, the flights have emitted around 162 tons of CO2 emissions to date.
It is the equivalent of the electricity use of 33 homes for one year, according to the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.
Four out of 11 flights were under one hour, with the jet spending a shockingly short 15 minutes in the air on one of those journeys.

The jet has also flown eight times since the catastrophic wildfires broke out on January 7.
It made one of its shortest trips on January 9 when it was in the air for 15 minutes, flying between Los Angeles and Camarillo, both in California.
The trip emitted one ton of CO2 emissions and used 120 gallons of jet fuel.
Three days later it took off again, this time for a slightly longer 36 minute flight to Palm Springs, emitting a further three tonnes of CO2 at a cost of $1,555.
Hours later, Kylie took off for London to support boyfriend Timothée Chalamet at the premiere of his new Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, where ironically the actor appeared to swerve a car in favour of a Lime bike for his red carpet arrival.
Making the most of their time in Europe, the loved-up couple then jumped back on the jet for a 47 minute flight across the Channel to Paris, France.
The journey emitted four tonnes of CO2 and 361 gallons of jet fuel at a cost of $2,000, nearly six times the price of a single premier ticket for the Eurostar which takes just under three hours.
On her way back to America, the jet stopped at Fargo, North Dakota, then Rifle, Colorado, before finishing in Teterboro, New Jersey, tallying up three flights in 24 hours.

Her arrival coincided with a post from her Kylie Cosmetics Instagram account, promising to donate ‘skincare, body, hair and makeup products’ to ‘help provide items that help teens in Altadena feel confident and like themselves again.’
The statement read: ‘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.’
The post, which garnered 21,000 likes, sparked a backlash over her jet use, with one follower telling her to ‘use your power accordingly’.
‘Taking a private jet to Paris, which contributes to the warmer weather and wild fires in LA, and we know you do this many times a year, and then put a bandaid on middle class LA fire victims with your lotion, is horrific,’ they wrote.
The billionaire mum-of-two purchased the Bombardier Global 7500 jet in 2020 for a rumoured $72.8 million and fashioned every seat with Hermès blankets.
She took 195 flights in 2024, according to Celebrity Private Jet Tracker.
Fury around her jet use has been exacerbated in the face of multiple fires which have turned huge swathes of Southern California into an inferno, with 40,000 acres reduced to ash and 27 people ᴅᴇᴀᴅ.

‘They don’t care. They will never care. Kylie sharing donation links is performative,’ wrote one furious person on Reddit.
‘Kylie is so fake how is she going to share things about the LA fires when she’s a big contributor towards the fires starting in the first place with the overuse of her private jet and she’s been using her jet for days while the fires are still happening. Worms for brains.’
It’s not the first time that Jenner has been accused of ‘eco-terrorism’.
In summer 2022, she was slammed for taking a 12-minute flight on her private jet – for a 26-mile journey that would have taken just 39 minutes by car.
The revelation followed a string of posts from the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star urging her fans to go green to save the planet.
She had consistently plugged the eco-friendly products she buys for her daughter Stormi.
She previously told her followers that she was going ‘vegan and clean’ with her products because it was ‘time to elevate.’
Jenner is among a host of stars who have drawn criticism from environmental activists and the media over their excessive jet use.
Pop powerhouse Taylor Swift was named the biggest celebrity CO2 polluter of the year in 2022, with DailyMail.com exposing the number of flights she was taking as she embarked on her whirlwind romance with Travis Kelce back in 2023.
