AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian and her family are turning to their iPhones to film the season finale of reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" amid the coronavirus lockdown.
Production on the current 18th season of the series was shut down just before Kim and her relatives were able to shoot the last episode, so they are now trying to complete filming themselves while social distancing.
In a video chat with comedian Jimmy Fallon for Monday's (March 30) episode of "The Tonight Show: At Home Edition", Kim explains the finale will serve as an isolation diary of sorts, as they are all waiting out the pandemic in their own homes.
"We filmed the entire season except for the last episode. So now that we've shut down production, it'll be all of us in quarantine filmed separately by ourselves," the 39-year-old said.
"We have tripods set up, and our iPhones, and the whole last episode will be what we do in quarantine (sic)... I literally have no idea what everyone else has been doing!"
However, Kim confessed she had broken her self-isolation to recruit her youngest sister, makeup mogul Kylie Jenner, to help her get camera-ready for the remote "Tonight Show" chat, which was conducted at the home of their mother, Kris Jenner.
Admitting she hadn't met up with Kylie in weeks, she continued, "That's the first time I've seen her, because the whole family is distancing so we haven't even seen each other. So I snuck out and I'm at my mum's house in her glam room because there's a door from the outside, so this is all she'll let us in (sic)."
Meanwhile, the mother-of-four has confessed she and husband Kanye West have been struggling with homeschooling after the COVID-19 outbreak forced the closure of schools across Los Angeles.
During a remote interview on daytime show "The View" on Tuesday, Kim shared, "The kids just got on spring break thank God, being their teacher, too. My newfound respect (is) for teachers. It's like, they deserve so much. It's been tough juggling it all and you really have to put yourself on the back burner and just focus on the kids."
Kim and Kylie both recently joined the growing number of celebrities donating $1 million (£802,400) to aid in the fight against the coronavirus, while also urging fans to take heed of medical officials' advice to stay indoors to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Angelina Jolie, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have also made similar generous donations of late.
