Khloé Kardashian​'s L.A. birthday party Tuesday night for new beau James Harden​ was as wild and spectacular as you could possibly imagine. E! Online reports James's 26th birthday bash took place on a yacht and featured an all-white attire theme, every Kardashian and celeb pal under the sun, and a crazy fireworks display at midnight. The only problem is, as the ​L.A. Times ​reports, the fireworks were a little ​too ​crazy, causing panic among unsuspecting neighbors in the Westside's beach community.

Neighbors woke up to the sound of blasts coming from the distance, not knowing what they were or what was causing them. Children were terrified; dogs panicked and started barking. Local resident Linda Feldman told the L.A. Times, "I was stunned by this booming sound. I had no idea what it was. The dog went into what I thought was a cardiac arrest." 

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's station in Marina del Rey received more than 40 calls about the fireworks, which many people believed were gunfire. Some people reportedly thought it was a possible terrorist attack at the airport. A local politician, Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin​, has even gotten involved, demanding accountability from those who allowed the fireworks to happen, which he said was "a really disrespectful and insensitive thing to do." 

Some of the fireworks from the event were captured on Kylie's Snapchat. (TMZ has video of what they looked and sounded like from the shore.)

As TMZ notes, Khloé didn't actually need a permit from a local agency to set off the fireworks. All she needed was the Coast Guard's approval for safety-related issues, which she got. Authorities with the Coast Guard said the event didn't require a permit because it was in open water a mile from the marina. Bonin said he plans to pursue the issue, calling the event a "ridiculous, rude and loud celebrity birthday bash."
