Reuters quotes a police source as saying the incident, involving five armed men, happened at 3am on Sunday, local time. Nobody was hurt.
Her husband, musician Kanye West, abruptly ended his performance at a music festival in New York around that time, citing a family emergency. New York is six hours behind Paris.

Kardashian West has been in Paris for fashion week, with her mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, who has been modelling there.
A normally prolific tweeter, Kardashian West posted about going to the Givenchy and Balenciaga shows on Sunday, but has not used social media since the incident occurred.

Earlier in the week, her bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, intervened when a celebrity prankster, Vitalii Sediuk, tried to kiss Kardashian West’s backside.
The reality TV star subsequently gave Duvier a shout out to her 48 million followers.

I’m so sorry for your horrid trauma, little sister.
The upside is you are ok. It surely could have
been worse! ….whew….
Lift your heart and know, God is with you.
….and damn those subversive, evil doers to the pits of HELL.
Does this disgusting human ever put her breasts away? I suspect insurance fraud in this matter.
For a lady who’s constantly surrounded by a huge posse and untold friends, family, and body GAURDS, I find it very hard to believe that she was completely alone while 5 men entered her house unseen by anyone else. I’ve read her hubby is 53 million dollars in debt, (real bad gambler )? So I suspect insurance fraud? 6 million would keep the gangsters from breaking his legs for at least another week or two.
