Kim Kardashian showed off her brand new £3.5 million diamond on social media just hours before she was robbed in Paris.

The reality star, who was given the second engagement ring by her husband Kanye West a couple of weeks ago, is thought to have had the impressive jewel taken during the heist in the early hours of Monday.

On Sunday evening, the 35-year-old posted a Snapchat video of herself on the phone with the ring prominently on her finger.

According to French investigators, the reality star had jewellery worth around £9 million stolen from her Paris apartment while her rapper husband was performing in the capital.

A jewellery box was also taken, as well as two smartphones which are thought to contain a great deal of private information.

Police have confirmed that a ‘highly organised gang’ of five men entered Kardashian’s apartment at around 2.25am after handcuffing the porter.

They then made their way up to Kardashian’s flat, held her at gunpoint, tied her hands together and locked her in a bathroom.

Kardashian, who is yet to comment on the robbery, was spotted leaving from Le Bourget Airport on Monday morning, following the attack.

A source close to the case said: "She’s very pleased to be heading back to the United States. She has given a full statement for the police."

"Victims of this robbery were unharmed but they are clearly in a state of shock and fear."
