This afternoon someone placed a call to police claiming shots were fired inside the Kardashian home in the Hollywood Hills. The caller claimed to be inside the house as well.

Cops swarmed the home. Helicopters flew above as well. Turned out that it was all a hoax.

Apparently the Kardashians were the victims of “swatting” where people crank call police claiming to be in trouble at celebrity houses. Tom Cruise fell victim yesterday from the same type of hoax.

Law enforcement tells us the 911 caller gave an address near the Kardashian house, but cops believe the target was the Kardashian home and they went to Kris’ door and told her they got a call someone was hiding in her closet.

Sources say most of the family was home and cops ordered them out so they could search it. After it was cleared, the family posed for pictures with the officers.
