Five men in ski masks and police jackets were involved in the robbery about 3 a.m. local time Monday, [Reuters](http://www.reuters.com/article/us-people-kardashian-idUSKCN12309S) reports. Two men entered her room at No Address Hotel, bound Kardashian’s hands and feet with tape then locked her in the bathroom before stealing a jewelry box worth $6.7 million in jewelry and a ring worth $4 million, police sources told [_La Parisien_](http://www.leparisien.fr/laparisienne/actu-people/paris-kim-kardashian-agressee-par-des-hommes-armes-dans-un-hotel-est-indemne-03-10-2016-6170649.php#xtref=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.google.fr%2F). Her purse, two cell phones and 1,000 euros were also taken, police sources tell [BFM TV](http://people.bfmtv.com/actualite-people/kim-kardashian-attaquee-a-main-armee-dans-un-hotel-a-paris-1043606.html). Kardashian was gagged and bound at her hands and feet, then handcuffed and held at gunpoint, according to [E! News](http://www.eonline.com/news/799237/kim-kardashian-bound-gagged-and-held-at-gunpoint-exclusive-new-details-on-the-robbery-in-paris). After the men left with “all her jewelry,” Kardashian “broke out of her bindings and got out.” “She begged for them to let her live and \[said\] she has babies at home. Then they wrapped her mouth in tape and put her in the bathtub,” a source told E!. “She thought they were for sure going to kill her.” The men were able to gain access to Kardashian’s private apartment after five men threatened the apartment building’s concierge with a weapon, handcuffed him and forced him to open the private apartment, says The French Interior Ministry, according to [_CNN_](http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/02/entertainment/kanye-west-family-emergency/). Two of the men were able to gain entry and a gun was held to her head, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office.

The convoy blew through red lights in Paris en route to the airport, where a private jet was waiting to take Kardashian back to the U.S. “She is badly shaken but physically unharmed,” her rep tells PEOPLE. Kardashian has been on a high-profile tour of Paris Fashion Week all week and was joined by husband [Kanye West](http://www.people.com/people/kanye%5Fwest) until Wednesday. She was also joined by mom [Kris Jenner](http://www.people.com/) and sisters [Kourtney Kardashian](http://www.people.com/people/kourtney%5Fkardashian) and [Kendall Jenner](http://www.people.com/people/brody%5Fjenner).

By 2:30 a.m. Paris time, just minutes before the robbery, she was back at her hotel room and Facetiming with brother [Rob Kardashian](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:RobKardashian,00.html) and his fiancée [Blac Chyna](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:BlacChyna,00.html) to wish them congratulations at their baby shower, according to her Snapchat. West [abruptly ended](http://www.people.com/article/kanye-west-family-emergency-left-concert) his headlining set at Meadows Music & Arts Festival in Queens, New York on Sunday night upon hearing the news about his wife’s scary encounter. He was in the middle of performing “Heartless” when he interrupted the song, telling fans, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Family emergency, I have to stop the show.” A festival rep then came on stage about 10 minutes later and said the set was cancelled and that West was no longer on site. “Due to a family emergency, Kanye West was forced to end his performance towards the end of his set. We appreciate the great show he put on for fans to close out the inaugural Meadows Festival,” the festival said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with West and his family.” On Sunday afternoon, Kardashian gave a shout-out to her security team, posting a picture on Instagram of one of her bodyguards, Pascal Duvier, and joking, “This guy is always in my shot!” > [](https://twitter.com/KimKardashian/status/782632831780618240) Earlier last week, her bodyguards quickly pounced on well-known celebrity prankster Vitalii Sediuk when he tried to plant his lips on her behind. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/kim-kardashian-leaves-paris-robbed-10-million-jewerly) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com) ## Transcript Celebrities are reacting on Twitter to Kim Kardashian being held at gunpoint. Lately show host, James Corden, tweeted this: people making jokes about Kim Kardashian tonight would do well to remember that she's a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend. Be nice or shut up. When one of her followers tweeted no one likes robbery at gun point. Then again Should people feel sorry for someone who owns millions of dollars in jewelry alone.
