Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint at a Paris apartment early Monday morning. The reality star, 35, had ‘$11 million’ worth of jewellery stolen by at least two armed masked men dressed as police officers. The men stole a jewellery box worth €6 million ($6.7 million) and a ring worth €4 million ($4.5 million), reports claim.
At around 2.30am, the robbers are believed to have entered the building and handcuffed the night guard. They then entered Kim’s room, threatened her with a weapon, ‘tied her up and locked her in the bathroom’.
The mother-of-two, who is in the city for Paris Fashion Week, is ‘badly shaken but physically unharmed’, a spokeswoman told DailyMail.com.
Husband Kanye West was told of the raid halfway through a headline performance at the Meadow Music and Art Festival, New York, and immediately cancelled the set.
Their daughter, North, three, and 10-month-old son Saint, are not believed to have been in the room at the time.
A photographer, who has been following Kim since she arrived in Paris, is being questioned by police. He is said to have gained access to a restaurant where she and her family were dining earlier this week by posing as a policeman.
The terrifying event early on Monday happened between the hours of 2 to 4 am (CET).
It took place in a discreet luxury residence used by celebrities and wealthy individuals behind the French capital’s Madeleine church. Kim has stayed there at least once before, in 2014, before her marriage to West.
Kim’s spokesperson Ina Treciokas told DailyMail.com: ‘Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening by two armed masked men dressed as police officers.
‘She is badly shaken but physically unharmed.’
A Paris police official confirmed to the Associated Press that there was a robbery involving Kim but she was unharmed, and an investigation was underway.
The official was not authorized to be publicly named speaking about ongoing investigations.
At around 4.30am Kendall Jenner was seen leaving the apartment under police protection. Model Jasmine Sanders, wearing a Kanye West t-shirt, and actor Terrence J accompanied her.
Meanwhile, Kim and her sister Kourtney are believed to have flown home to the U.S. after the shocking incident.
Kim’s sisters Kourtney and Kendall were staying at The Peninsula Hotel in the city but a spokesperson for the hotel said they were ‘not aware of any of it’s guests being attacked in our hotel.’
Her children – three-year-old North and nine-month-old son Saint – were not involved in the incident on Sunday night according to a report from People.
Kim has been enjoying the festivities during Paris Fashion Week with older sister Kourtney and mother Kim as she has been spotted front row at runways shows including Balenciaga, Givenchy and Balmain.
Shortly after the incident, Kanye West ended his concert at Meadows Festival in Queens, New York on Sunday due to a ‘family emergency’.
The Meadows Festival is organised by the creators of The Governors Ball. Kanye had been due to play the ball on its third and final day back in June but it was cancelled due to rainstorms.
Many fans took to Twitter expressing their anger that the 39-year-old had walked offstage on Sunday night and there was booing in the crowd. They also said that he was 30 to 40 minutes late for his scheduled performance.
In a fan recorded video, the father-of-two could be seen in the middle of performing his 2008 hit Heartless when an aide came on stage to tell him the news.
He then said: ‘I’m sorry. I have a family emergency. I have to stop the show.’
The crowd was obviously stunned at the shock announcement as Kanye could be seen quickly exiting the stage.
He reportedly cut his headline set 20 minutes early despite showing up 30 minutes late.
One Twitter user at the event named Stephen Dacres described the scene as he wrote: ‘Kanye’s assistant pulled him to the side of the stage then Ye got on the mic saying he had a family emergency then stopped the show #Meadows.’
The Meadows New York City made the announcement that the show was over via Twitter as they wrote: ‘Due to an emergency, Kanye West had to end his performance early. Please get home safely.’
Just an hour prior to Kanye leaving the stage, Kim was active on Snapchat as she posted a video of herself FaceTiming with Blac Chyna during a baby shower with Rob Kardashian.
The last time Kim and Kanye were spotted together was during an outing in Paris on Wednesday.
Paris has been a special place for Kardashian-West and her husband, who spent the weekend there before marrying in Florence in May of 2014.
Earlier this week, Kim had a scare of different kind as a prankster named Vitalii Sediuk slipped past security and tried to tackle her – appearing to try to kiss her famous behind.
