Kim and her sister Kourtney have been filming their latest reality series, "Kourtney and Kim Take Miami," in the Sunshine State and they were given a special welcome by Mayor Andre Pierre on Monday as he presented them with the accolade.

Khloe was also recognized at the event, but she was forced to skip the presentation to catch a flight back to Los Angeles to film her hosting gig on "The X Factor."

Introducing the siblings, Mayor Pierre told the crowd at the North Miami council hall, "What can you say about the Kardashians that we don't already know? Three of the hardest working people in the business: Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney ... we are honored by your presence. This key symbolizes the freedom of the recipient -- you, Kourtney and Kim -- to enter the city at will."
