Geometric properties of higher dimensional Kerr-Schild (KS) spacetimes with (A)dS background are summarised. For Einstein spaces algebraic types of the Weyl tensor compatible with the KS ansatz are established, optical properties of the KS vector are given. Important examples of exact solutions belonging to this class, such as Kerr de Sitter metrics in arbitrary dimension are also briefly discussed.
