Kim Kardashian held at gunpoint by men disguised as police in Paris

Masked men put a gun to reality TV star Kim Kardashian’s head, left her tied up in the bathroom of her luxury residence in Paris and stole millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry in the early hours of Monday, police and her publicist said.

Reports since claim there were as many as five people involved in the robbery, which is said to have taken place in a luxury residence, not a hotel.

The original spokesperson suggested that “two armed masked men dressed as police officers” had held up Kim Kardashian “at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room”. Her husband, rapper Kanye West, abruptly left his set early at the Meadows Festival in New York on Sunday night after learning of the news. A Paris police official confirmed that there was a robbery involving Kardashian but she was unharmed, and that an investigation was underway. “She is badly shaken but physically unharmed,” a spokesperson for the star said. Jewellery worth millions was stolen, police sources suggest.
