Kim Kardashian Robbed At Gunpoint At Paris Apartment Early Monday Morning, Jewelry Worth $11 Million Stolen
Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint at a Paris apartment early Monday morning, DailyMail reports.
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 said.
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 said:
‘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.’
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’.
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.
Hope this makes them learn how to keep their daily lives private. Hope the perpetrators are caught and thank God he wasn’t harmed in anyway.
Manny the long lost MDB’er
It is well
Eeyaahh!
