Kardashian is badly shaken but physically unharmed
American reality TV star Kim Kardashian West was held at gunpoint on Monday in a luxurious residence in Paris and robbed by five masked men.
Reuters quoted a police source saying that the attack happened around 3.am and nobody was hurt including Kardashian.
A spokesperson for the French Interior Minister said Kardashian was locked up in a bathroom and the men robbed her and took away jewelry worth millions and two cell phones.
“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,” her spokesperson said in a statement.
It’s not clear if Kardashian West’s family, including her two children, were present or what the motives of the masked men were.
As per the reports on Billboard magazine, Kardashian West, as well as her sisters Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian have been in Paris. Kardashian has been a fixture at Paris Fashion Week, which was being held in recent days.
The incident prompted her husband, rapper Kanye West, to abruptly end a performance in New York, citing a family emergency.
The official twitter account of Meadows confirmed that west would not be coming back to finish his set.
The crowd gasped in surprise and some people shared videos of the abrupt departure.
