Kim Kardashian has been held at gunpoint in Paris, according to police.

At approximately 1.00 GMT this morning, reports claim as many as five masked men 'dressed as police officers' entered the reality star's luxury residence and threatened her at gunpoint before stealing several mobile phones and jewellery.

According to police: 'The loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated', but other reports estimate the loss to be approximately £8 million.
