Keeping Up With The Kardashians production on hold as E! says 'Kim's well-being is our core focus'

E! network's has halted production of its reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians season 12 after Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint at a hotel in Paris on 3 October.

A spokesperson for E! said: "Kim's well-being is our core focus right now. No decision has been made as to when production will resume." The next episode of season 12 was scheduled to be aired on 23 October and the network has not changed the return date in light of the production break.

The hiatus comes after Kardashian was held at gunpoint, bound and gagged and locked in a bathroom by two masked and armed intruders, posing as police officers.

She is badly shaken but physically unharmed."
