Gunmen posing as cops rob millions from Kim Kardashian

 		Gunmen posing as cops rob millions from Kim Kardashian

Armed men posing as cops held up Kim Kardashian in her Paris hotel room on Monday morning and robbed her of several million dollars in jewelry — prompting hubby Kanye West to stop his concert at Citi Field mid-song and race off the stage, citing a “family emergency.”

“I’m sorry . . . I have to stop the show,” he is heard saying in a video posted to Twitter, as fans gasp and curse.

Kardashian’s rep later revealed that the emergency was a terrifying crime in Paris, where the social media star was attending the city’s Fashion Week.

“Kim Kardashian West was held up at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room this evening by two armed masked men dressed as police officers,” spokesperson Ina Treciokas told The Post. “She is badly shaken but physically unharmed.”

While the rep didn’t disclose what hotel the incident happened at or give any other details, a police source said she had been targeted around 3 a.m. — and that it was actually five men who robbed her.

The source also pegged the value of jewelry stolen in the heist at several million dollars.

Another source told The Post that the couple’s two young children were not in the room at the time of the robbery.

Kanye’s onstage announcement came about 10 minutes before his set at The Meadows Festival was scheduled to end and midway through the song “Heartless.”

Witnesses saw an assistant come onto the stage and deliver a message just before he walked off.

“This is SO Kanye,” a person in the crowd shouts on the video.

Another fan demands to know, “What happened to Kim?!”

The reality star has been hanging out in Paris with other members of the Kardashian clan, including sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. She was staying at the Ritz Hotel at the time of the robbery, according to Good Morning Britain.

The episode comes just days after another security scare for Kardashian, when celebrity prankster Vitalii Sediuk attempted to plant a kiss on her famous derrière as she arrived at a restaurant in Paris.
