The news would have hit Kim hard as her dad Robert Kardashian, died of esophageal cancer in 2003 at the age of 59. He passed just two months after his diagnosis. Earlier today, Kim stepped out of her car and showed off her curves in a white dress and cream jacket in Paris. It came as a French court awarded her a symbolic one euro in compensation after she was robbed at gunpoint at a Paris hotel in 2016. The award is reported to match what she asked for. Kim and stylist Simone Harouche, also present during the robbery, said they “hope to now move forward”. Kim had been staying at the five-star Hôtel de Pourtalès on October 2, 2016 when armed robbers stormed her suite and bound her with zip ties. Among the jewellery stolen was a £3million engagement ring from her ex-husband, rap superstar Kanye West. Most of the valuables, including the ring, were never recovered. Two of the gang, dressed as cops, broke into Kim’s suite and tied her up, leaving the reality star terrified she would be raped or murdered. The robbers, dubbed the “Grandpa Robbers” due to their older ages, wore ski masks or were disguised as police during the brazen raid. At the time, it was France‘s largest robbery in 20 years.
