Kim Kardashian has reportedly been held up at gunpoint by masked men posing as police.

The reality TV star was staying at a discreet luxury residence in Paris on Sunday when the masked assailants robbed her of several million dollars worth of jewellery.

A spokesperson for Kim Kardashian described the star as “badly shaken but physically unharmed”. No-one else was hurt in the robbery, police said.

Ina Treciokas told CNN the robbery was carried out by two masked men with guns. Other reports put the number of assailants at five.

Kardashian has been in Paris for fashion week with her mother Kris Jenner and her sister Kendall Jenner.  She was ambushed on Wednesday by serial “celebrity accoster” Vitalii Sediuk, who attempted to kiss her on the behind as she entered L’Avenue restaurant.

“The loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated,” police said to Reuters.

Officers were guarding the site on Monday.

Kim Kardashian’s husband Kanye West cancelled a concert in New York mid-song to deal with the family emergency.

“I’m sorry, family emergency I have to stop the show,” West told the audience during a performance of Heartless.
