"I’d be grounded for life" - Kim Kardashian reflects on how her late father Robert would have reacted to her life today

Kim Kardashian and her other sisters, Kourtney and Khloe, remember their late father, Robert Kardashian, on the latest episode of The Kardashians. Robert, who was once a renowned lawyer and businessman, firmly believed in the importance of a healthy and caring family, a core value that he passed down to her daughters and son.

Robert Kardashian died at the age of 59, on September 30, 2003, due to stage 4 Esophgael cancer. Kim Kardashian and her sisters celebrated the creation of the UCLA Robert G. Kardashian Center for Esophageal Health as it turns five. The cancer treatment center was founded in memory and honor of Robert.

The Kardashian sisters opened up about their late father and discussed what he would have thought about his daughters' lives today. Each sister reflected on their father and revealed their thoughts on him.

The SKIMS co-founder, Kim, explained that her father, Robert, was a fun person who had a playful attitude, but she claimed that he wouldn't be the happiest seeing her today. Kim said:

"He was very playful and very fun. He'd be pretty pissed off at a lot of things too."

Then she joked, saying:

"I’d be grounded for life already."

Kim eventually shared that Robert would have been extremely proud of the esophagel cancer research center that was built in his honor as it helps so many people and provides the necessary services and treatments one requires.

The 44-year-old businesswoman and socialite confessed:

"There’s a few things in life that my dad would be really proud of us for and this is definitely one of them. We weren’t able to save his life with this new technology and with the access to these doctors, but now we can help save other people’s lives."
