Kim Kardashian was locked in a bathroom and robbed of millions by the gunmen.
Reports that a photographer,who has been following Kim since she arrived in Paris for Fashion Week, is currently being questioned by police.
He is said to have gained access to a restaurant where she and her family were dining earlier this week by posing as a policeman.
A Paris judicial police official confirmed that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was tied up and locked in the bathroom as five assailants dressed as cops raided the property.
The official tell media the ordeal started at around 2:25 a.m. when the gang entered her luxury apartment block on Rue Tronchet in the 8th Arrondissement,close to the British Embassy in Paris.
A male concierge was handcuffed, tied up, gagged and hidden in a cupboard in the stairwell of the building.
The criminals then made their way up to the apartment purchased by Kanye West, where Kim had just finished a Facetime call with her brother Rob Kardashian.
After breaking in two of them held a gun to Kim before tying her hands together, and locking her in a bathroom.
The robbers then helped themselves to millions of dollars of jewelry, before making their escape.
Parisian police believe much of the stolen jewelry - including a ring and contents of a jewelry box - was from Kim’s personal collection, while some pieces had been borrowed for Paris Fashion Week.
Two iPhones believed to be Kim's were also stolen.
Police estimate the jewelry was worth 10 million euros, telling Us: “There is still a lot of work to do in the investigation.”
At this time officials believe the crime was committed by a “highly organized” gang who had done a great deal of planning before the raid.
