Kim Kardashian denies she partied while son was hospitalized

Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Kim Kardashian is shutting down reports that she partied while her son was hospitalized last week.

The 37-year-old reality star responded Wednesday on Twitter after a fan account defended Kardashian and her husband, Kanye West, from rumors the pair partied on New Year's Eve while son Saint was sick with pneumonia.

"I haven't heard this BUT lets get this straight," Kardashian wrote, referencing the fan tweet, which asked, "why do people continuously think KimYe were 'partying' New years Eve while saint was at the hospital?"

"I did not leave my son for one minute during his hospital stay," she asserted. "We were there Wednesday night to Saturday. NYE WAS SUNDAY NIGHT. People came over when he was already asleep for the night! Don't even try me when it comes to my kids."

Kardashian had confirmed in a tweet Tuesday that 2-year-old Saint was hospitalized for pneumonia. She said at the time that the toddler was back at home and "all better" from his illness.

"My precious baby boy is so strong! After spending three nights in the hospital & seeing my baby get multiple IV's and hooked up to oxygen machines, our end of year was challenging. Pneumonia is so scary," she wrote.

Kardashian and West hosted a New Year's Eve party for family and friends Sunday, as seen in the reality star's Snapchat posts. Kourtney Kardashian, Larsa Pippen, Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson were among the guests.
