Kim Kardashian West Held At Gunpoint In Paris Hotel Room

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Kim Kardashian West was held at gunpoint in her hotel room in Paris Sunday evening, which caused Kanye West to cut his performance short at the Meadows Festival in Queens Sunday night.

In the middle of his song "Heartless," West told the crowd, "I'm sorry, there's a family emergency, I have to stop the show."

A spokeswoman for Kardashian West says she was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room Sunday night by two armed masked men dressed as police officers.

"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 Kardashian West spokesperson Ina Treciokas told CNN.

Kardashian West has been in Paris for fashion week. She attended the Givenchy show Sunday evening.

She was also ambushed last week by a serial celebrity accoster who attempted to assault her as she was entering a restaurant.

The Meadows Music and Arts Festival also said that West had to leave the stage "due to an emergency."

"Due to an emergency, Kanye West had to end his performance early. Please get home safely," The Meadows tweeted.

Joe Berg, who was at the concert, said on Twitter that someone came on stage to get West.

The couple have two children together.
