Kim Kardashian West shared photos from her birthday celebration on a private island, and people on Twitter are accusing her of being "out of touch."
Kardashian West posted the photos to social media on Tuesday, and explained, in a series of captions, that she'd taken a select group of friends and family on the trip after "weeks" of quarantining and "health screens."
According to the reality star, she wanted to celebrate her 40th birthday "with some of the people who have helped shaped me into the woman I am today."

And even though Kardashian West said she realizes "that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now" and she is "humbly reminded of how privileged my life is," some Twitter users still took issue with her taking an expensive trip to a private island in the middle of a deadly global pandemic.
