Kim Kardashian has been robbed at gunpoint in her Paris home.

Five masked men posing as police officers gained entry to the 35-year-old's apartment early on Monday and reportedly tied her up and held a gun to her head before leaving her locked in her bathroom.

The gang stole jewellery worth almost £9 million and smartphones before apparently fleeing on motorbikes in the "highly organised" raid.

Kardashian's rep Ina Treciokas confirmed the incident in a statement to CNN and said that the star, who is staying in the city for Fashion Week, was "badly shaken but unharmed."

The robbers reportedly made their way up to Kardashian's residence after tying up a porter and leaving him in a cupboard in the luxury apartment block on Rue Tronchet.

Kardashian's children, North, three and Saint, nine months, were not involved in the raid.

Her husband Kanye West was in the middle of a gig at the Meadows Festival in New York when he heard the news and left his set mid-song, apologising to fans.
