According to Reuters,"Five men in ski masks and police jackets were involved in the robbery about 3 a.m. local time Monday,
Two men entered her room at No Address Hotel (pictured above), bound Kardashian's hands and feet with tape then locked her in the bathroom before stealing a jewelry box
worth $6.7 million in jewelry and a ring worth $4 million, police sources told La Parisien.
Her purse, two cell phones and 1,000 euros were also taken, police sources tell BFM TV.
Kardashian was gagged and bound at her hands and feet, then handcuffed and held at gunpoint, according to E! News. After the men left with "all her jewelry," Kardashian "broke out of her bindings and got out."
"She begged for them to let her live and [said] she has babies at home. Then they wrapped her mouth in tape and put her in the bathtub," a source told E!. "She thought they were for sure going to kill her." This undoubtedly was a nightmare for the star,who would have ever thought Kim Kardashian held at gunpoint was a headline we would ever see?
The men who carried out the Kim Kardashian robbery were able to gain access to her private apartment after five men threatened the apartment building's concierge with a weapon, handcuffed him and forced him to open the private apartment, says The French Interior Ministry, according to CNN. Two of the men were able to gain entry and a gun was held to her head, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
Sources tell PEOPLE that Kardashian left her hotel in two vans with a police escort after she gave her statement regarding the robbery to investigators.
The convoy blew through red lights in Paris en route to the airport, where a private jet was waiting to take Kardashian back to the U.S.
"She is badly shaken but physically unharmed," her rep tells PEOPLE.
Kardashian has been on a high-profile tour of Paris Fashion Week all week and was joined by husband Kanye West until Wednesday. She was also joined by mom Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.
By 2:30 a.m. Paris time, just minutes before the robbery, she was back at her hotel room and Facetiming with brother Rob Kardashian and his fiancée Blac Chyna to wish them congratulations at their baby shower, according to her Snapchat. (Kim pictured FaceTiming with Rob and Chyna about 2:30 a.m. Monday – minutes before she was robbed).
Meanwhile it was a Kanye West family emergency that stopped the superstar's husband from an engagement he was at moments after his wife was robbed.This was how Kanye himself described the situation to the audience.Kanye looked distraught as he rushed off stage after learning his wife was held at gunpoint in her hotel room in Paris.
The 39-year-old rapper was performing at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in Queens, New York when an aide rushed out on stage to deliver the news after which he hurriedly told crowds: 'I’m sorry. I have a family emergency. I have to stop the show.'
It is not known yet who the men behind this daring robbery and attack are.But those jewellery i am sure will be easy to traced and when you rob a big name such as that of Kim,you are asking for trouble.I will be surprised if Kim Kardashian's attackers are not caught in a month's time or less.
