Kim Kardashian West was robbed of “millions of euros” worth of jewellery by armed robbers. The 35-year-old beauty was left “badly shaken” after being held at gunpoint by armed robbers at her private residence in Paris.
Police have now revealed the extent of what she lost in the incident. A police spokesperson told CNN: “The loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated.”
Kim was locked in the bathroom while two men dressed as police officers took two cell phones and her jewellery. The French Interior Ministry’s spokesperson said no one was hurt during the incident, which took place at around 3am on Monday (03.10.16) and the men did not discharge their weapons.
It is not clear if the star’s children, three-year-old North and nine-month-old Saint, or any of her other family members – who are all in France for Paris Fashion Week – were present at the time.
Kim’s husband Kanye West was performing in New York at the time but stopped halfway through after he was told what had happened to his wife. During his song ‘Heartless’, he told the crowd: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Family emergency, I have to stop the show.”
Meanwhile, Kim’s friend Chrissy Teigen and presenters James Corden and Piers Morgan have defended her after the terrifying incident was mocked on social media.
Chrissy wrote: “Fame is interesting. Celebs are supposed to love you guys while also knowing you’d make a meme of our dead bodies to get retweets.”
James slammed: “People making jokes about @KimKardashian tonight would do well to remember that she’s a mother,a daughter,a wife,a friend.Be nice or shut up”.
And Piers posted: “Feel very sorry for @KimKardashian. Must have been a terrifying experience. #Paris #robbery (sic)”.
