Kim Kardashian will 'never forget' Paris robbery as she shares devastating admission

was forced to relive the horrific moment she was held at gunpoint while a group of strangers robbed her while in Paris. The 44 year old mum of four endured the terrifying ordeal back in 2016 and now French authorities have been able to convict the suspects as guilty verdicts were handed out to all eight people involved.

In a statement, the star of The Kardashians said: "The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family."

She added: "While I’ll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice, and promoting a fair legal system."

In addition to Kim's statement her lawyers including Michael Rhodes, Léonor Hennerick and Jonathan Mattou also released their own statement.

They said that Kim "appreciates the Court’s decision and once again thanks the French authorities for treating her with great respect throughout the process."

They continued: "It has been a long journey from that terrible night back in 2016 to her standing courageously in a historic Paris courtroom to confront these criminals."

Their statement concluded said: "She looks forward to putting this tragic episode behind her, as she continues working to improve the criminal justice system on behalf of victims, the innocent, and the incarcerated seeking to redeem themselves."

According to reports, the people involved that were found guilty will unfortunately not be sentenced to further prison time, due to the fact they had served time previously while awaiting the trial.

According to CNN Judge David De Pas called the sentences "quite lenient."

He said: "They were thought of a long way away from this serious event, which impacted the civil parties. You have caused harm, even if you did not strike, if blood has not been shed, you have caused fear."

The armed robbers stole $10million-worth of jewellery from the terrified star who said that she also feared she would be attacked by the men involved.

According to a defence counsel source, they said: "Health and age factors and the fact that they have spent periods in prison already means that none will go back inside a cell. All have returned to their homes."

According to Kim's legal team, the vast majority of the jewellery stolen remains unrecovered. The sentence of eight years was handed down to one of the suspects, named Aomar Ait Khedache who was the ring leader.

It has been reported that he is deaf and can barely speak following a long time spent dealing with ill health.

His defence lawyer, Chloé Arnoux, said: "He was sentenced to eight years in prison, but he won't go, because he has already served five years in prison.

They added: "He was convicted in 2017 for another sentence concurrently with the latest one handed down, so the remaining three years will be suspended too."

Ms Arnoux continued: "This decision is also proof that justice can truly redress the situation in ways other than prison."
