Los Angeles, Ca
Khloe Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and more celebs react to earthquake near Malibu
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.6 rocked the Los Angeles area on Thursday morning.
Those who felt it immediately took to social media to check on what had happened, among those were some celebrities.
“Damn, that was a big one,” Khloe Kardashian posted to X, formerly Twitter. Kardashian resides in Hidden Hills, which is a gated community with the Santa Monica Mountains. It’s not exactly clear if the reality star was home at the time of the quake.
“That #Earthquake was scary,” wrote Paris Hilton to the platform.
Model and personality Amber Rose said the tremor was “the biggest earthquake” she had ever “experienced in California.” She then wrote that she hoped “everyone is ok!”
Actress and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Garcelle Beauvais said she was in bed when she felt the quake.
Like many L.A. residents, comedian and host Loni Love received an update on her iPhone.
“I felt it as soon as this message popped… hope folks are okay,” she posted to X.
The quake was initially reported as magnitude 5.1 before being downgraded to 4.6 and then ultimately 4.7. Several KTLA viewers reported feeling the quake in the Inland Empire, and the USGS impact map shows it was also felt in areas of Orange County, Santa Barbara County and San Diego County.
The quake was followed by at least two aftershocks measuring 2.8 and 3.4.
