New York (CNN)Reality
TV star Kim Kardashian West has left France after being held at
gunpoint and robbed by men dressed as police officers in a private
apartment in Paris, French officials said.
A
spokeswoman for Kardashian West said the celebrity was "badly shaken
but physically unharmed" following the incident, which took place early
Monday morning local time.
Kardashian was staying at an apartment inside a luxury private mansion that can be rented out for days or weeks at a time.
The
French Interior Ministry said five men threatened the mansion concierge
with a weapon, handcuffed him and forced him to open the private
apartment.
Two of the men were
able to gain entry to Kardashian West's room, according to the Paris
prosecutor's office, and a gun was held to her head. A
source familiar with the situation told CNN that Kardashian's two
children, North West and Saint West, "were not present" at the time of
the incident.
She
was locked in a bathroom while the men took two cell phones and jewelry
worth millions of dollars, the Interior Ministry said.
Jewelry, phones stolen
The
prosecutor's office said a ring worth an estimated 4 million euros
($4.49M) and other jewelry worth about 5 million euros ($5.6M) were
among the items stolen.
Kardashian
West was in France for Paris Fashion Week, along with her mother, Kris
Jenner, and sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. She was
staying at a private mansion in Paris, according to CNN affiliate BFM
TV.
The French Interior Ministry said no one was hurt during the incident and that the men did not fire their weapons.
Kardashian West left France later Monday after speaking with police, an Interior Ministry representative told CNN.
