Kim Kardashian was today reunited with husband Kanye West in the US after she was robbed at gunpoint of millions of pounds worth of jewellery in her Paris home by gunmen dressed as police.
The couple arrived back in New York on a private plane, which took off from Le Bourget Airport this morning after her horrific robbery ordeal.
They were accompanied by her main bodyguard Pascal Duvier, who was not with her at the time of the robbery and was instead accompanying her two sisters Kourtney and Kendall Jenner at a nightclub.
At around 2.25am a gang entered the palatial apartment block close to the British Embassy in the French capital.
After handcuffing the porter, they made their way up to Ms Kardashian’s flat, where she was sleeping.
They broke in and then two of them held a gun at the reality TV star, before also tying her hands together and then locking her in a bathroom.
French investigators put the price of the lost jewellery at around €10 million – equivalent to almost £9 million.
A jewellery box and a ring were taken, as well as two smartphones - ones that are likely to contain a great deal of personal information.
Three days ago, Kardashian West posted a close-up photograph of a huge diamond ring on her left hand captioned with three diamond emojis.
The reality TV star, who was attending Paris Fashion Week, was "badly shaken but physically unharmed" after masked men dressed as police officers robbed her, her spokeswoman said.
Two police officials told reporters that robbers tied up Kardashian West and locked her in the bathroom before escaping on bikes.
Kardashian West's husband, the rapper Kanye West, was performing at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York when he was told the news on stage.
