Kim Kardashian honours late father at law society event

Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney attended a special law society event in California on Sunday (14Jun15) in honour of their late father.

The reality TV stars, who lost their lawyer dad Robert to cancer in 2003, turned out for the Armenian Bar Association event bash at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills to accept an award on his behalf.

Bosses of the society feted Robert Kardashian with a posthumous honour for his legal work, while they also praised the Kardashian sisters for their own efforts to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide in their family's homeland.

A statement from organisers reads, "We are so pleased to be able to welcome the family of Robert Kardashian to accept the honour on his behalf and also to recognise their contribution to international recognition of the Armenian Genocide."

Kim later shared a picture of herself and Kourtney posing with a framed certificate dedicated to their dad at the event, adding in a caption on Instagram.com, "Thank you to The Armenian Bar Association for honouring my father last night!’
