Sick online trolls have targeted Kim Kardashian after she was the victim of a terrifying gunpoint robbery.

The 35-year-old reality star was held at gunpoint by two masked men, reportedly dressed as policemen, who stole jewellery worth millions of pounds. She was “badly shaken but physically unharmed,” her spokesman said.

Twitter soon became a hive for trolls sneering at the mum-of-two, calling her an attention seeker and questioning whether the incident deserved to make news headlines.

Others simply said they found the attack funny, with Tweets posted including: "Kim Kardashian robbed at gunpoint haha."

Others made jokes, including about her rear end asking: "How is her bum?" while many criticised news outlets for reporting it as leading news.

Others doubted the attack had even happened at all.

On Twitter, user Chris, as @GelNerd said: "I don't believe Kim Kardashian has even been robbed at gunpoint. She's not released the Snapchat of it taking place so it can't be true."

But hundreds of people sent get well messages to the TV personality and many public figures defended her against the trolls.

James Corden and Piers Morgan are among the public figures who have sent their sympathies to the star following the robbery in Paris last night.

Piers Morgan said: “Feel very sorry for @KimKardashian. Must have been a terrifying experience.”

James Corden said: "People making jokes about @KimKardashian tonight would do well to remember that she's a mother,a daughter,a wife,a friend. Be nice or shut up."

Lisa Barnes said: "Not her biggest fan but I don't see how Kim Kardashian being held at gunpoint is funny, she's human with 2 kids - wtf is wrong with people?!"
