Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint at a prudent extravagance residence in Paris by no less than two men dressed as cops, her marketing expert and police say. 

A police spokesman said the haul from the robbery, mostly jewellery, was worth several million euros.

The robbery occurred at around 03:00 local time (01:00 GMT). 

A representative for Kardashian, 35, said the star was "badly shaken but physically unharmed". Nobody else was harmed in the robbery, police said. 

Ina Treciokas told CNN the burglary was completed by two covered men with weapons. Different reports put the quantity of aggressors at five. 

Kardashian's husband,, the rapper Kanye West, was in front of an audience at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York at the time of the theft. He unexpectedly finished his set, telling fans: "I'm sorry, family emergency. I have to stop the show."

Kardashian stayed at the extravagance residence, behind Paris' Madeleine church, at least once before, in 2014 before her marriage to West.

"The loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated," police said. 

Television host James Corden condemned those downplaying the incident. He tweeted: "People making jokes about Kim Kardashian tonight would do well to remember that she's a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend. Be nice or shut up."

It is unclear if the couple's two children, three-year-old daughter North and 10-month-old son Saint, were with Kardashian in home at the time. Police were guarding the site on Monday.

The star was in Paris for the city's fashion week with her mother Kris Jenner and her sister Kendall Jenner.

Last week she was approached by a prankster who tried to kiss her bottom but was stopped by a bodyguard.

Kardashian first rose to fame as a friend and stylist to Paris Hilton. She later appeared in her own reality programme, Keeping up with the Kardashians, about her family.
