It’s that time of year again — when people bring out their best baked beans and ground beef in the ritzy neighborhood of Malibu … with A-listers all around, and 2022 being no exception.

Some of Hollywood’s most famous faces were in attendance for the annual Malibu Chili Cook-Off Festival … including Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Johnny Knoxville, Donald Faison, Jack Osbourne, Evan Ross, Lana Del Rey and Amanda Bynes.

There was Kardashian representation too … at least 3 of the kiddos were there with what appeared to be nannies. Psalm, Chicago and True were photographed on the scene.

Khloe might’ve actually been with them here … she was spotted hitting the beach with this bunch, plus other nieces and nephews of hers — including North, who got in the water.

Anyhoo, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves in the hot L.A. sun — that is, until nightfall … when a crazy stampede broke out and cause a massive panic as people ran to flee the grounds. It was pretty scary … and it all stemmed from someone reportedly saying there was a gun and/or shooting afoot.

That turned out to be complete BS … cops say there was no evidence of firearms or a shooting of any kind that day — and suspect it might’ve been a prank by teenagers.

Luckily, nobody was hurt in the chaos — and least not seriously — and it was back to fun times on Sunday, with more people trickling in … celebs and otherwise.
