He is believed to be waiting for his wife's private jet to land after she left Paris early this morning.

West walked off stage during the gig at the Meadows Music and Arts Festival in New York after being told the terrifying news.

Interrupting hit Heartless 45 minutes into the gig, he told the crowd: "I'm sorry, there's a family emergency, I have to stop the show."

Kim was robbed of several million dollars worth of jewellery in the terrifying raid on a luxury Paris apartment.

Organisers later confirmed: "Due to a family emergency, Kanye West was forced to end his performance towards the end of his set.

"We appreciate the great show he put on for fans to close out the inaugural Meadows festival. Our thoughts are with West and his family."

The couple's young children Saint and North are not believed to have been in the hotel room at the time.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kim, 35, was unharmed but "badly shaken" by the incident at round 3am local time.

More than 80,000 New Yorkers were attending the festival over the weekend.

Many were left angry after Kanye walked off stage, with loud booing heard from the crowd.
