Armed gunman handcuffed the concierge of a luxury residence in Paris Sunday night and forced him at gunpoint to lead them to Kim Kardashian's room, where they then tied up the reality star and robbed her of more than $10 million in jewelry.

Kardashian's rep Ina Treciokas told FOX411 in a statement that Kim was "was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room ... by two armed masked men dressed as police officers. She is badly shaken but physically unharmed.
Paris police said five armed, masked men, who were still at large, stole a box containing valuables worth $6.7 million as well as a ring worth more than $4 million. The two officials confirmed Kardashian escaped uninjured and that an investigation was underway.
Police said the robbers tied up Kardashian and locked her in the bathroom before escaping on bikes.

Kardashian reportedly was interviewed by police before boarding a private plane from Paris to the United States.
Her husband Kanye West was performing at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York City at the time of the robbery and abruptly ended the concert, telling his fans that he had to deal with a “family emergency.”
"I'm sorry, family emergency I have to stop the show," West told the audience.
Founders Entertainment, which promoted the festival, released a statement to Billboard, saying “"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. Our thoughts are with West and his family."
Kardashian was also ambushed last week by a serial celebrity accoster who attempted to assault her as she was entering a restaurant. She was also attacked outside of a Paris fashion week show in 2014. She wasn't hurt in either incident.
