October 3, 2016
According to Paris police, Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint at a luxury Paris residence at around 3 a.m. local time (0100UTC) on Monday. The 35-year-old was tied up and locked in the bathroom.
The five attackers were reportedly wearing ski masks and jackets with police signs. A jewelry box, containing five to six million euros worth of jewels, and a ring worth around four million euros were stolen in the incident.
Kardashian's spokesperson Ina Treciokas said the reality TV star and selfie aficionada was "badly shaken but physically unharmed."
It wasn't immediately clear whether her two children, 3-year-old daughter North and 10-month-old son Saint, were also in the hotel room.
'Family emergency'
Kardashian's husband, rapper Kanye West, was headlining at the New York festival The Meadows at the time of the robbery. West abruptly ended the performance an hour into his set.
A representative told festival-goers that the rapper had left due to a "family emergency."
Kardashian is currently in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week, along with her mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.
