Kim Kardashian today fled Paris in a state of ‘deep shock and fear’ after being robbed at gunpoint of millions of pounds worth of jewelley in her home by five gunmen dressed as police.
The star took off in a private plane from Le Bourget Airport this morning after her horrific robbery ordeal.
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.

"She’s very pleased to be heading back to the United States," said a source close to the case. "She has given a full statement for the police."
"Victims of this robbery were unharmed but they are clearly in a state of shock and fear." The case is being investigated by Paris Judicial Police.
Ms Kardashian’s daughter, North, three, and 10-month-old son Saint, were not believed to have been in their mother’s room at the time, but may have been in the flat.
The source said the five men involved were "highly organised", and that a great deal of planning had clearly gone in to the raid.
Ms Kardashian was in the city for Paris fashion week, and her movements were being well documented on social media.

Her flat in Rue Tronchet is well known to fans and anybody else who follows the fortunes of Ms Kardashian and her husband, rap star Kanye West.
The Kardashian home in Paris is in a luxury block apartment block called Hotel Pourtalès.
It is not a proper hotel, but instead a portered building containing nine flats designed for multi-millionaires.
The Hotel Pourtalès was built in 1839 and classified as a historic monument in 2002.
