- Kim Kardashian threw her son Psalm a firefighter-themed fourth birthday party this weekend.
- Kardashian shared footage and photos of the event on social media.
Kim Kardashian celebrated her son Psalm's fourth birthday by throwing him a lavish firefighter-themed party.
Psalm, Kardashian's youngest child, turns four on May 9, but the reality star celebrated the occasion slightly early on May 6, sharing several photos and videos of the event on social media.
One TikTok, posted on Kardashian's joint account with her 9-year-old daughter North, shows a large red entrance to the party with the letters "FD" in the style of a fire department sign written on it. Inside the entrance were large helium balloons shaped like flames, craft tables, a bouncy house shaped like a fire station, and a fire engine-themed slide with a ball pit, among other attractions.

Kardashian, 42, also filmed a rack of firefighter costumes for Psalm's guests, which were made from real firefighter turnout gear, according to an Instagram post from events company Haus of Elements LA, which reposted a series of since-expired stories from Kardashian's account that tagged the brand.
A subsequent TikTok on Kardashian and North's account showed the 44-year-old mom holding Psalm in her arms as guests sang "Happy Birthday" in front of a cake shaped like a fire hydrant.

Comments on the account have been turned off, but when her sister Khloé posted a similar montage of clips from the party on her TikTok account, the event received a mixed response.
Some users criticized the family for spending so much money on the lavish party, while others said they were impressed by the effort Kardashian put into her son's celebration.
Many celebrities and influencers have increasingly faced backlash in recent months for posting about their luxurious lives despite ongoing rising living costs, being labeled out of touch with the difficulties many ordinary people are facing.

Kardashian has four children, named North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm, with her ex-husband Ye (formerly known as Kanye West).
Kardashian and Ye got married in 2014 after more than two years of dating, and Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021. Before the divorce was finalized in November 2022, a series of public feuds escalated between the pair, which involved Ye criticizing Kardashian for letting North use TikTok, and Ye taking responsibility for harassing Kardashian and her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, whom she dated for nine months, on social media.
In a December 2022 interview on Angie Martinez' "IRL" podcast, Kardashian described the difficulties of co-parenting with her ex-husband, saying she deliberately avoids bashing the rapper in front of her children and tries to shield them from the public by limiting their access to television and social media.
