Kylie Jenner has been slammed for taking a 12-minute flight on her private jet – for journey that would have taken 30 minutes by car.
The billionaire beauty mogul, 24, was blasted as a ‘climate criminal’ for her short haul journey across California last week.
She flew on her luxury ‘Kylie Air’ private plane twice across the county on July 13, and again just two days later on July 15.
The Bombardier Global 7500 jet travelled for 35 minutes from Palm Springs, just outside of LA, to Van Nuys, in Los Angeles, close to her $36million Hidden Hills mansion on July 15.
Two hours later the mum-of-two then flew from Van Nuys, to Camarillo in in Ventura County, California – a trip which took just 12 minutes according to CelebrityJets on Twitter.
Had the star driven the 26 mile trip from her home in Hidden Hills to Camarillo it would have taken her around 30minutes.
But instead the star drove 30 minutes in the wrong direction to Van Nuys airport, before jumping on the plane – with the journey taking longer despite the 12 minute flight.
The star splashed out thousands of eco-friendly products for her daughter Stormi in 2020, kitting out the nursery in natural, organic and sustainable items
Stormi has a $3500 changing table and a $400 organic mattress in her crib, while Kylie’s billion dollar brand last year announcing that they were going vegan.
She posted on her Instagram, to her 359million followers, that she would be going ‘vegan and clean’ with her products as it was ‘time to elevate.’
Shock: Kylie Jenner has been called a ‘climate criminal’ for reportedly taking a 12-minute flight on a private jet after coming under fire for boasting about her and Travis Scott’s planes
Luxury: The star bought the $70million plane in 2020 and has since been slammed for the amount she uses the jet
She boasted ‘you wanna take mine or yours?’ in a tone-deaf social media post which saw her branded as ‘classless’.
Jenner purchased the plane in 2020 for around $70 million and fashioned it with a whole lot of neon, a full bar, and Hermès blankets over every seat.
Fuming fans responded to her string string of very short-haul flights, criticizing Kylie for being a ‘climate criminal’ and not using other modes of transport.
They pointed out that the star had travelled 13 miles out of her way to get to the Van Nuys airport, before travelling in the wrong direction, adding it is the ‘worst thing’ about the situation.
One person raged: ‘Kylie seems to love taking her jet for short trips that are probably drivable. Seems to be a theme here.’

Journeys: Twitter account Celebrity Jets shared her flight paths, showing a number of short-haul flights including reported 12 and 17-minute journeys
Another said: ‘Kylie Jenner: full time climate criminal. These jets should never be allowed to take off.’
A third criticized: ‘This should be illegal wtf’ while a fourth added: ‘This is gross.’
Another commented: ‘She took a 12minute flight??? Why is this even allowed she could’ve seriously went in a car.’
Planes: It also claimed that Kylie’s jet headed on a mere 12-minute flight from Van Nuys to Camarillo
Jetting off: Celebrity Jets also shared a flight map for another set of flights last Friday, reportedly showing her jet travelling from Palm Springs to Van Nuys in a 35-minute flight
Anger: Responding to her string of very short-haul flights, enraged people took to Twitter to criticise Kylie for being a ‘climate criminal’ for not driving the short journeys instead
MailOnline has contacted Kylie’s representatives for comment.
Her followers also hit out at the beauty mogul after she shared a black and white image of her and music artist boyfriend Travis Scott with their matching planes.
Many fans angrily criticized the pair and the tasteless post at a time when global warming and the rising costs of living are key issues for much of the US.
In the snapshot the twosome, who’ve been dating since 2017, embraced each other with their heads nuzzled in each other’s shoulders.
Their four-year-old daughter Stormi Webster was also in on the affectionate moment as she hugged both her parents.
The photo was artistically taken as a wide shot to show a Rolls Royce, emphasizing the luxurious life outtake, whilst fans hit back at the displays of wealth.
In the comments section, one follower penned: ‘Too much flaunting of your wealth when others are barely surviving!’
Another added: ‘Maybe take neither and reduce your carbon footprint?’
‘Why do I have to limit my meat consumption and use paper straws while the 1% gets to pump tons of carbon into the atmosphere for a day trip to Palm Springs,’ a third quipped.
Whilst another person wrote: ‘What about combating climate change?’
Someone else added: ‘This display of wealth is unbelievable, so detached from the common persons struggles.’
