Here’s what we know about the attack.
Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint while inside her private apartment in Paris, the Hôtel de Pourtalès.
According to reports, two armed men broke into the private residence by handcuffing the concierge and ordering him to show them where Kardashian West was staying. The armed men, who wore ski masks along with fake police armbands, reportedly bound her hands and feet while holding her at gunpoint, before locking her in the bathroom. They then escaped with three accomplices.
During the ordeal, which occurred at 3.00am Monday evening Paris time, the men stole a jewellery box containing valuables set at USD$6 million, a ring worth $USD4 million and two smartphones.
Earlier in the evening Kardashian West had attended the Givenchy show before retiring to her apartment alone. Reports suggest her bodyguard was with Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner at a nightclub when the attack occurred.
Meanwhile, her husband Kanye West abruptly ended his performance in New York on Sunday night. While performing his song Heartless, a member of his team took to the stage to give him the news. “I'm sorry I have a family emergency, I have to stop the show,” West told the audience before leaving the stage.
West joined his wife in Paris before the pair flew back to New York together on Monday morning.
It is not yet known whether Kim’s engagement ring, worth more than USD$1.25 million, was stolen in the ordeal.
The men have not yet been found.
