Washington D.C. [USA]: Kim Kardashian may be an active socialite but nothing comes before her children and her motherly instinct.

According to E! Online, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star, who was held at gunpoint inside her Paris hotel room by two armed masked men dressed as police officers, begged for them to let her live as she had babies at home.

"She begged for them to let her live and [said] she has babies at home. Then they wrapped her mouth in tape and put her in the bathtub," the 35-year-old's rep said, adding, "She thought they were for sure going to kill her."

According to the source, the reality star and mother of two "was gagged and bound at her hands and feet" during the robbery, then handcuffed and held at gunpoint.

According to a report by tmz.com, Kim told the police that she believed she was about to be raped when one attacker grabbed her by the ankles.

The robbers, however, duct taped her ankles, picked her up and put her in the bathtub. She begged the robbers not to kill her because she had babies and they could take whatever they wanted.

Kim also told the police that the robbers didn't speak English and only spoke French. The attackers kept saying "ring, ring", and she knew that they were looking for the new ring given to her by her husband and rapper Kanye West.

After the men left with "all her jewelry," Kardashian freed herself and got out of the bathtub in which the men had earlier put her.

Kanye West reportedly cut short his concert instantly as the news reached him. The rapper husband was in the middle of a concert when all of a sudden he said, "I'm sorry, family emergency, I have to stop the show."
