Kim Kardashian And 8 Other Celebrities Who Have Been Robbed

Kim Kardashian is unfortunately not the only celebrity who has been robbed at gunpoint. Kate Moss, George Clooney and others have been victimised before.

October 4, 2016

In light of Kim Kardashian’s shocking robbery at gunpoint in Paris, celebrities are expressing support for the reality TV star who has reportedly been left shaken by the ordeal.

According to reports, Kim was gagged and bound at her hands and feet while the assailants stole more than $10 million worth of jewelry this week.

The raid occurred while Kim was staying in a discreet luxury residence called Hotel de Pourtales frequented by celebrities and wealthy individuals.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that the Hotel de Pourtales, also known as the “No Address Hotel,” is a favorite of celebrities like Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio and Prince, and that the residences are said to employ as many as 20 highly vetted employees.

This isn’t the first time that a celebrity has been assaulted by weapon-wielding criminals. See who else has been robbed here:
