The "badly shaken" reality star, 35, fled the French capital on a private jet hours after being held hostage in the flat's bathroom by several men dressed as police.

Kim is understood to have been bound with handcuffs and packing tape before being forced into a bathtub.

But many have now turned to Twitter to make outrageous claims that the entire incident was a hoax.

More than £8million worth of jewellery is believed to have been nabbed during the attack - including a £5million jewellery box and one ring worth £3.5million.

The ring is understood to have been of a similar value to a 20-carat diamond ring - recently given to her by hubby Kanye West - that she was pictured wearing last night.

Among the other items stolen were two smartphones.

Authorities confirmed the reality TV star was unharmed during the "highly-organised" raid on the Rue Tronchet in Paris's Madeleine district.

Sources said the armed men had been let into the building by a concierge who was marched at gunpoint to the star's apartment.

Kim's young children Saint and North were not in the hotel room at the time - but police are yet to confirm whether they were in the same complex.
