Kotlin enum via reflection

I wonder is there any better way to parse enum when you don't have Generic and have only KProperty1<T, *>?

I have found / come up with solution like this:

enum Car {
    BMW, AUDI
}

val property = properties[fieldName] as? KProperty1<T, *>
val instanceKClass = property.returnType.jvmErasure

if (instanceKClass.java.isEnum) {
   parseEnum(property.javaField!!.type as Class<Enum<*>>, "BMW")
}


fun parseEnum(enumClass: Class<Enum<*>>, value: Any?): Enum<*>? {
    val enumClz = enumClass.enumConstants
    return try {
       enumClz.first { it.name == value }
    } catch (ignored: Exception) {
       throw IlligalArgumentException("there is no such enum")
    }
}

I'm trying to extract enum value from string in Kotlin via reflection and I want to find best possible way of doing this

P.S. I'm looking for advice how to do it more efficient and nice, because I'm not really satisfied with this way.
