Kim Kardashian West relived for the cameras the night masked robbers broke into her Paris apartment, held her at gunpoint and stole millions of dollars worth of jewellery.

On Sunday's Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the 36-year-old said she mentally prepared herself to be raped during the ordeal on October 3 last year.

"He duct tapes my face, like my mouth, to get me to not yell or anything and then he grabs my legs - I had no clothes on under. He pulled me towards him at the end of the bed and I thought, 'like OK, this is the moment, they are going to rape me' and I fully mentally prepped myself and then they didn't," she said.

"Then he had the gun up to me and I knew that was the moment, they are totally going to shoot me in the head. I just prayed that Kourtney [Kardashian] is going to have a normal life after she sees my dead body on the bed."
