Earlier in the day, Kim had attended the Givenchy show for Paris Fashion Week with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, and afterward she headed back to her apartment with Simone while they went to a club.

When the robbers broke in, Simone locked herself in a bathroom and called their bodyguard, who had left that evening to accompany Kourtney and Kendall.

Kim also managed to loosen her her bonds and went to the balcony to call for help, at which point Simone rushed back to her.
