Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening, by two armed masked men dressed as police officers. She is badly shaken but physically unharmed.
Kim was away with her mother Kris Jenner and two of her sisters, Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, for the week. However, her husband, Kanye West, was performing at a New York music festival in Flushing Meadows, Queens.
West received the news in the middle of his performance and immediately excused himself off the stage. It's reported Kanye cut his performance 20 minutes short after he had showed up 30 minutes late.
One fan captured video footage of the artist ending his set abruptly in the middle of his performance of the hit song "Heartless."
In the video, Kanye can be heard, saying to the crowd,
I'm sorry, there's a family emergency, I have to stop the show.
