How TV Star, Kim Kardashian Was Tied Up And Robbed Of Jewellry Worth Over $11m

 

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.

Kardashian, who her publicist said was “badly shaken but physically unharmed,” spoke to investigators and then left France aboard a private jet. It was not immediately known where Kardashian, whose home is outside Los Angeles, was headed.


Five attackers, wearing ski masks and clothes with police markings, struck around 3 a.m. (2100 EDT) inside the exclusive apartment block where Kardashian, 35, was staying while attending Paris Fashion Week, a police source told Reuters.

Two of the men entered Kardashian’s apartment after threatening the night guard with a hand gun. Kardashian, who has two young children with husband-rapper Kanye West, was not beaten but the robbers put a handgun against her temple before tying her up, the source said. iTELE television said she had been tied up with packing tape.

E! News, whose U.S. network broadcasts the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” television show, on Monday quoted a source close to Kardashian as saying she feared for her life.
“She begged for them to let her live and (said) she has babies at home… She thought they were for sure going to kill her,” the unidentified source told E! News.

The robbers stole a box with 5 million to 6 million euros’ ($5.6 million to $6.7 million) worth of jewels and a ring worth about 4 million euros ($4.5 million), the Paris police source said.
