UPDATE: Kim Kardashian West armed robbery under investigation

Los Angeles - The spokesperson for Kim Kardashian West said the reality TV star was "badly shaken but physically unharmed" after being held up at gunpoint by two masked men dressed as police officers.

She offered no other details.

However, a Paris police official confirmed that there was a robbery involving Kardashian but she was unharmed, and that an investigation was underway.

The official was not authorised to be publicly named speaking about ongoing investigations.

Kim's husband, Kanye was performing at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York at the time. He abruptly ended his set after telling his fans he had a family emergency.

"I'm sorry, family emergency I have to stop the show," West told the audience.

Kim Kardashian West has been in Paris for fashion week. She attended the Givenchy show on Sunday evening.

Paris has been a special place for Kim and Kanye, who spent the weekend there before marrying in Florence in May of 2014.

It's unclear if the couple's two children, 3-year-old daughter North and 10-month-old son Saint, were with Kim in the hotel room.
