Khloe - who shares daughter True, five, and son Tatum, 11 months, with Tristan - made the revelation during the season finale of The Kardashians on Wednesday night.
She said Tristan and Amari moved in after Tristan's roof collapsed during the renovation of his $12.5million Hidden Hills home across the street due to all the rain in Los Angeles.
After Tristan's mother Andrea died of a heart attack at age 53 in January, the athlete called Khloe to express his grief.
"I didn't really understand what he was saying," Khloe recalled.
"He was just like screaming on the phone, trying to tell me that she's gone, but I had no idea who he was talking about."
Tristan and Khloe - who spoke to Andrea daily - flew to Toronto with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian to support Tristan and help with funeral arrangements.
Tristan also became Amari's legal guardian and brought him back to California.
Khloe said in a confessional: "Amari is 16, and he is severely disabled. It's just really sad, because we don't know what he knows or doesn't know, cognitively."

However, Tristan's home flooded soon after he brought his brother home.
Khloe explained: "We had crazy weather for California, like extreme rains, and Tristan's roof caved in on his home and caused flooding.
"Tristan and Amari are staying at my house right now until his home gets fixed.
"God doesn't want him to be alone right now and why should he be?"
TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT?
Kim pointed out how ironic it was that Khloe had wanted to set boundaries with Tristan after his cheating scandal in 2021 - but ended up letting him move in with her.
She said: "Isn't God just, like, funny? You were so ready to have your year of being free.
"And now, Tristan had to move in with you, his little brother had to move in with you, his roof caved in. What are the chances?"
The NBA star revealed in January 2022 that he secretly fathered a son, Theo, with his mistress, fitness model Maralee Nichols, 32, in 2021.
Following a month of speculation, Tristan confirmed he is Theo's father and issued a public apology to Khloe.
It was revealed that Khloe and Tristan had conceived another child - Tatum - via a surrogate before she learned about his cheating scandal.
Khloe insisted that while she has forgiven Tristan for cheating, they have not reconciled.
NOT BACK TOGETHER
The Good American founder stressed: "Tristan and I are not back together. I know it's hard for everyone to believe, but I love, love, love Andrea and I love Tristan.
"I love Amari. This is what family does. Tristan is the father of my kids...
"I know how close Tristan and his mom are, and I just, it's just heartbreaking. And then to be left with the responsibility of another person as well, it's a lot."
She went on: "I just think this is what family does when s**t hits the fan. All you have is your family.
"And Tristan and I are family, and we're gonna be family for the rest of our lives."
