Social media users were up in arms after threw a joint birthday party for her two young children while seemingly making light of the deadly tragedy that left 10 people dead.
Kylie celebrated Stormi’s fifth birthday first on Wednesday, with Aire’s first birthday bash following on Thursday, with both seemingly using the same massive decorations.
But the celebration took on a dark tone when the 25-year-old cosmetics mogul and her famous sisters shared photos and video from the event, revealing that she had put up what appeared to be decorations inspired by the cover of her ex ‘s hit album Astroworld.
The designs, which included eerie inflatable heads with gaping mouths modeled after Stormi, were modeled after a similar large head modeled after Travis own visage on the cover of his LP.
Social media users described the display as tasteless because of the association with the deadly crowd surge at Travis’ Astroworld festival, though the large head designs predated the tragedy.

The large dead-eyed heads weren’t new for Kylie and her family, as she had used them for Stormi’s first birthday.
For her second birthday, she went all out, keeping the Astroworld heads but designing an entire indoor carnival celebrating Stormi and featuring even more disembodied Stormi heads.
Kylie took a break from the Stormi World decorations for her daughter’s first birthday following the deaths in November 2021, when she would have turned four in February 2022.
Presumably it was because of the disturbing associations with the deadly event, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped the massively wealthy Kardashians star from bringing them back for Stormi’s fifth birthday bash.
The latest party had one silver Stormi head with rainbow-colored slides coming out of its mouth, while another design that may have also been modeled on Stormi featured a walkway through its mouth for guests to enter.
One Twitter user described the setting as ‘demonic.’
‘The f*** is up with this messed up theme?Demonic much.. I hated what happened in #AstroWorld,’ they wrote.
Another person thought she was spitting in the face of the victims of the Astroworld tragedy, as well as their families.
