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 "undefined").

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/ "undefined").

West [abruptly ended](http://www.people.com/article/kanye-west-family-emergency-left-concert "undefined") 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 "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4516424/kim-kardashian-paris-robbery-private-jet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4516424/kim-kardashian-paris-robbery-private-jet/"},"headline":"Kim Kardashian West Leaves Paris After Being Robbed of $10 Million in Jewelry","datePublished":"2016-10-03T13:50:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:58:09.465Z","description":"She was robbed by armed masked men dressed as police","url":"https://time.com/4516424/kim-kardashian-paris-robbery-private-jet/","keywords":["celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7427ab438168631f/6988a864656a3f7660bcd515/kim-kardashian-west-paris-robbery.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Peter Mikelbank and Michael Zennie / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7427ab438168631f/6988a864656a3f7660bcd515/kim-kardashian-west-paris-robbery.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Buro 24/7 Fashion Forward Initiative - Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2016","caption":"Kim Kardashian West attends Buro 24/7 Fashion Forward Initiative as part of Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2016 at Hotel Ritz on September 30, 2016 in Paris, France.","creditText":"Jacopo Raule—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4516424/kim-kardashian-paris-robbery-private-jet/","name":"Kim Kardashian West Leaves Paris After Being Robbed of $10 Million in Jewelry"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"WATCH: James Corden and Other Celebrities Respond on Twitter to Kim Kardashian West Being Robbed at Gunpoint","description":"See how Chrissy Teigen put one hater in his place","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/EYyCor6p/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-10-03T13:31:36.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/EYyCor6p.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4516424/kim-kardashian-paris-robbery-private-jet/","duration":"PT35S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4516424/kim-kardashian-paris-robbery-private-jet/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
