Kim Kardashian West spoke on stage as she was joined by family members - Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner and Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian - at the ceremony at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, on Sunday night (11.11.18), to collect the prize for Reality Show of 2018 for 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.

During the acceptance speech, Kim, 38, said: "To all of the firefighters, the law enforcement and the first responders" who have worked tirelessly.

"We really, truly appreciate what you have done for all of us.

"So please let's continue to pray for everyone's safety. Thank you."

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney were forced to evacuate their homes as the deadly wildfire swept through Calabasas and nearby areas.

She said: "It's been a really rough week in our home in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and our neighbours in Thousand Oaks and Malibu."

The reality star also used her time on stage to call for action following the mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, which recently claimed 12 lives.

She said: "Our hearts are broken from the horrific shootings and those who have lost their lives and homes, as well as the hundreds of thousands of us that have been evacuated from the devastating fires that are currently burning.

"Action is necessary. So anything we can do to help - as simple as donating to the many organisations that are collecting supplies, no form of help is too small. she urged.

"Our country is stronger when we come together and we cannot face devastation alone.

"We must continue to reach out and help each other in these trying times."

Khloe, 34, also won the award for Reality TV Star of 2018, and tweeted: "I honestly can not believe it!!! Thank you all so so much!!! Ahhhhhhh thank you!!!!! Yayyyyyyy (sic)"

Melissa McCarthy, who was honoured with the People's Icon gong, asked everyone to keep the victims and firefighters in their "thoughts".

She said: "I'm so incredibly grateful that tonight your collective voice matters.

"If you could just do one more thing with your power, because when people come together there's such incredible power in it, please, keep the victims, volunteers and firefighters in your thoughts."
