Kim Kardashian has spoken about the night robbers broke into her flat in Paris, saying it was one of her “most life-changing experiences”.
The star, 36, will be seen recounting the harrowing incident in the new episode of her reality TV programme Keeping Up With The Kardashians in the US on Sunday, and said it would be “very tough” to watch.
She posted a series of messages on Twitter explaining why she wanted to open up about the terrifying experience last October.
Tonight's episode is going to be very tough for me.

However, I thought it was important to share this story through my eyes & not in an interview where my own words could be twisted.

I have always shared so much & I'm not going to hold back when this was probably one of the most life changing experiences for me.

Kim was in a private residence in the French capital when she was robbed of jewellery worth several million dollars by a group of men in masks.
For several months after the ordeal, she took a break from social media.
