“Keeping Up with the Kardashians” has halted production after Kim Kardashian‘s robbery at gunpoint in Paris earlier this week.
“Kim’s well-being is our core focus right now. No decision has been made as to when production will resume,” a spokesperson for the network told TheWrap.
The reality TV star said she was tied up by armed robbers, locked in a bathroom and had more than $10 million worth of jewelry stolen early Monday morning.
The men were dressed as police officers and wore ski masks, and put a gun to her temple, according to Reuters. Paris police officials told the AP that five assailants stole a jewelry box containing valuables worth between $5.6 and $6.7 million, as well as a ring worth about $4.5 million.
Kardashian was staying at a private residence in Paris when the burglary took place. The culprits are still at large. A representative said the reality TV star is “badly shaken but physically unharmed.”
Kardashian, who was in Paris attending fashion week shows, left France aboard a private jet from Le Bourget airport after speaking to investigators.
Kanye West cut short a concert at Citi Field in Queens, New York on Sunday night when he learned of the incident, telling the crowd, “I’m sorry, family emergency, I have to stop the show.
Forbes' 10 Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Artists of 2016: See Who Beat Out Kanye West (Photos)
Kanye West might dominate the headlines lately, but in terms of money-making, it hasn't been a particularly robust year for the "Life of Pablo" rapper.

10. Thanks to a label roster that continues to include Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj, Cash Money Records kingpin Birdman padded his nest with $18 million.
9. Kendrick Lamar released "Untitled Unmastered" earlier this year and he definitely wasn't unrewarded, taking in $18.5 million.
8. Pharrell Williams' production work and TV gig on NBC's "The Voice" helped him amass $19.5 million.
7. Pitbull hit a personal best on the list this year with $20 million due to performances and numerous endorsements ranging from Playboy to Norwegian Cruise Lines.
6. Lone female entry Nicki Minaj managed her share of money-making with $20.5 million, thanks to dates on The Pinkprint Tour and deals with MAC and K-Mart, among others.
4. Drake's latest album "Views" helped him pull in $38.5 million -- which in his homeland of Canada translates into an even more impressive $49.6 million.
3. Dr. Dre hauled in a healthy $41 million, thanks in part to Apple's buyout of Beats, a new album and the successful N.W.A biopic "Straight Outta Compton" which he executive-produced.
2. Despite not releasing an album over the last 12 months, Jay Z nabbed $53.5 million, lining his pockets with cash from Roc Nation, Armand de Brignac champagne and D'Usse cognac.
1. List-topper Diddy hauled in $62 million, mostly from non-musical endeavors including his deal with Ciroc vodka.
