Up to 16 people have been arrested in France over the robbery of reality TV star Kim Kardashian in a Paris apartment in October.
Attackers wearing ski masks and clothes with police markings burst into the block in the early hours of October 3, tied Kardashian up at gunpoint and stole 9 million euros ($A13 million) worth of jewellery, police said at the time.
Reports by Europe 1, RTL Radio and BFM TV said the suspects had been arrested in part thanks to DNA traces left at the scene. One of those in custody was picked up in Grasse, in
the Alpes-Maritimes region of southeast France, and was known to police for criminal activity.
The Paris prosecutor could not be reached immediately for comment. Kardashian, who is married to US rap star Kanye West, was "badly shaken but physically unharmed," her publicist said at the time. The 36-year-old broke her silence on the robbery in a trailer for an upcoming series of the family's reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, saying she feared she was going to be shot in the back.
She was seen telling her sisters Khloe and Kourtney she thought "they're going to shoot me in the back. There's no way out" and she added: "It makes me so upset to think about it." The mother-of-two was locked up in a bathroom in a private residence in Paris and tied up by armed robbers, thought to have been dressed as police officers.
The star suffered more turmoil the following month when her rapper husband West was taken to hospital in Los Angeles for sleep deprivation and exhaustion, after abruptly cancelling his US Saint Pablo tour.
