Kali Linux zsh: corrupt history file access denied

When I use Kali Linux (live version,) and use the root terminal (emulator,) before the command line it says:

zsh: corrupt history file

This seems like a simple problem and there are many sources online explaining how to easily fix this, however the problem is that when I try to access my zsh_history, it says “access denied” with no explanation.

Note that I have the newest version of Kali Linux live and have root user rights.
