How it ended, as its article says

Replaced by Khorezm People's Soviet Republic, 1920. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Khiva had a revolution too, and in 1920 the Khanate was replaced by the Khorezm People's Soviet Republic.

5 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1804 – 1855. Median reign 10 years. 1 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
