Star recounted the harrowing ordeal in the latest episode of KUWTK.

Kim Kardashian has revealed that she believed she would be raped and killed by armed robbers during her Paris robbery on 3rd October last year.

In a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the reality star recounted the horrific ordeal which saw the thieves steal over $10million worth of jewellery from her Parisian residence.

Kim recalls being bound, gagged and thrown onto a bed whilst semi-naked under a robe by one of the robbers, before mentally preparing herself to be sexually assaulted.

"He grabs my legs, and I wasn't, you know, I had no clothes on under," she says.

"He pulled me toward him at the front of the bed and I thought, "Okay, this is the moment they're going to rape me."

"I fully mentally prepped myself - and then he didn't," she continued.

"He had the gun up to me. I knew that was the moment they're just totally going to shoot me in the head."

Prior to the incident, Kim explains how she initially thought the sound of the robber's footsteps belonged to an inebriated Kourtney Kardashian and Stephanie Sheppard, Kim's assistant.

"I knew something wasn't quite right" recalls Kim.

The 36-year-old mother took to Twitter before and after the episode aired to address the incident, which has since seen 17 people arrested in connection with the event.

Kim took time to thank the French police, as well as her friends and family.

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

Rumours have swirled in the wake of the robbery, with sources even claiming that the traumatic incident was an inside job.

However, Kim and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family have retained a united front in the face of the media frenzy that followed the heist, with Kim posting another sentimental post on Instagram this week.
