Kim Kardashian West tearfully begged for her life while being robbed in Paris, France, on Sunday, a source close to the reality star tells ET.

The 35-year-old mother of two was held at gunpoint and tied up inside the luxury apartment she was staying at for Paris Fashion Week.

“Kim is very, very shaken up,” the source says. “She thought she was going to die. They put a gun to her head while they were searching the apartment. She was crying, begging them for her life. It’s an absolute awful story. One of the most terrifying experiences of her life.”

“She is very upset and can’t stop thinking about what could have happened,” the source adds. “She is at home now with [husband] Kanye [West] and [their children] North and Saint. Friends have been popping in all day to visit her and be there for her.”

As for how the robbers managed to gain access into the apartment, the source reveals a staff member at the complex was forced to escort the intruders up to the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star's residence.

“The concierge walked them up into the apartment with a gun to his head,” says the source.
