Kris Jenner fought back tears as she broke her silence on her daughter Kim Kardashian’s “devastating” robbery in Paris.

Kardashian, 35, was bound, gagged and robbed of a reported £9 million worth of jewellery by a group of men at her apartment in the French capital last October.

Jenner opened up about the terrifying ordeal on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and said she still struggles to talk about it without “bawling” her eyes out.

“It was devastating,” she said. “We started filming [Keeping Up With the Kardashians] and what was coming out of that was very therapeutic for her.

“We just started seeing some of the stuff that had come out of those days. Nobody can even get through the first five minutes without being hysterical. I get choked up just thinking about it and talking about it.”

The reality TV matriarch looked close to tears as she told DeGeneres that watching back clips of her daughter recalling the ordeal still leaves her “bawling” her eyes out.

“I was watching it and I was bawling when I saw it. I just saw some of it, and I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I mean, it was so upsetting. It was such an upsetting time when something so awful happened to somebody that you love so much.”

Jenner said Kardashian chose to talk about the incident on their reality TV show in a bid to raise awareness.

“Its remarkable to listen to her tell the story,” she said.

“She does it because she wants it to bring awareness. It’s changed the way we live our lives and the way we take care of our kids and grandkids.”

Keeping Up With the Kardashians starts in the US on Sunday, March 5.
