Reality star made her first public appearance in Dubai since the robbery in Paris
KIM Kardashian is back to her best as she posed with an exotic bird while wearing a full-length black fur coat during her trip to Dubai.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star made her first public appearance since the terrifying Paris robbery at a make-up masterclass in the glamorous city.
The mum-of-two looked like she was having a ball with her pals as she posed for a glamorous photoshoot on a dune buggy before going ATV riding.
The reality star turned tech mogul was also greeted by the Royal Family of the United Arab Emirates.
Earlier in the day, Kim was snapped wearing a figure-hugging white knit dress the showed off her famous curves.
The long-sleeved high-neck dress accentuated her svelte physique and she accessorised with sky-high suede ankle boots and a navy baseball hat.
She then went shopping at the Mall of the Emirates where she was snapped shopping at one of her favourite brands, Givenchy.
Meanwhile, the transcript of Kim's statement to Paris police after her terrifying robbery in October was leaked on Sunday revealing terrifying details of her ordeal.
The 36-year-old, who had £8.5million worth of jewels stolen in the raid at a Paris hotel, said the attackers grabbed her, while she was wearing only a bathrobe, and bound her with tape while they emptied her purse.
The mum-of-two said: "I was in a bathrobe, naked underneath. We then went back to the bedroom and they pushed me onto the bed."
She told officers she heard a noise at the door "like footsteps" and shouted to ask who was there, but no one answered.
Then she described how a masked thug "grabbed me and took me out to the entry hall".
It comes as full names of the main gang members are also made public, and Ms Kardashian prepares to travel to France to give evidence against them.
She was in a state of severe shock when she was quizzed by detectives from 4.30am on October 3 last year - less than two hours after five men had broken into her apartment in central Paris, where she was sleeping alone after dinner on a Sunday night.
"I heard a noise at the door, like footsteps, and I shouted to ask who was there, but no one answered," said Ms Kardashian in the statement leaked to Le Journal du Dimanche.
"I called my bodyguard at 02:56am. Then beyond the sliding doors I saw two people arrive with the gentleman from reception, and he was tied up."
The "gentleman from reception" was a concierge identified as Abdulrahman, a 39-year-old who was forced to take the gang to the flat at gunpoint.
Referring to the robbers, Ms Kardashian said: "Both men were hooded, one had a ski mask and he had a cap and a jacket with 'Police' on it.
"The second man had the same 'Police' clothes, but did not have any ski mask. The man with the ski glasses was about 1.7m (5ft 6in) , thin, black trousers, black boots.
"The second man, also European, was taller and he stayed with the security guard. He was around 1.8 (5ft 9ins) and was dressed in the same way as his accomplice.
"It was the one with the ski mask who stayed with me."
The two men were said to be known villains Aomar Ait Khedache, a 60-year-old nicknamed "Old Omar" and Didier Dubreucq, also 60 and dubbed "Blue Eyes".
Referring to one of the men, Ms Kardashian said: "He had a strong French accent and asked me for my ring [in English]. He looked at what was on the bedside table. It was worth four million dollars."
Following repeated requests to produce her diamond engagement ring, Kim replied: "I replied that I didn’t know, he took out a gun and I showed him the ring.
"He had gloves. He asked me where the jewels and the money were. He grabbed me and took me out to the entry hall. I was in a bathrobe, naked underneath.
"We then went back to the bedroom and they pushed me onto the bed. And at that point they tied me up and put plastic cables and scotch tape on my hands, and then taped my mouth and my legs.
"They took me to my bathroom, more specifically in my bathtub.
"I forgot to tell you that when they pushed me onto the bed, they went to my purse and emptied everything.
"In my jewellery box there were two Cartier diamond bracelets, a Jacob necklace in gold inlaid with diamonds, earrings with diamonds by Loraine Schwarz, and others by Yanina.
"There were three gold necklaces by Jacob, little bracelets, jewels, rings. A necklace by Loraine Schwarz with diamonds, another little necklace with six diamonds underneath.
"Another diamond necklace with the name of my son Saint on it. There was also a Jacob diamond cross. There were two rings in yellow gold. I think they robbed me of five million dollars."
In fact, the total haul was worth around $10m, or £8.5m.
Ms Kardashian continued: "Then they ran away. During the theft, they had the hotel’s mobile phone that did not stop ringing, and they spoke in French.
"I got the impression they were saying they had to leave. Then I succeeded in pulling off the tape from my hands and my mouth.
"I guessed that they were a bit inexperienced in the manner in which they had tied me up."
Asked if she was would recognise the attackers, Ms Kardashian said: "Perhaps the small one, with the ski mask, but I’m not sure."
"Are you hurt?", officers asked, and she replied "No".
She said she wanted to make a legal complaint, adding: "I want to leave, and go back to my children in the USA.
"A private plane is waiting for me at Bourget."
Aomar Ait Khedache and Didier Dubreucq are both now in custody and face prison sentences after being charged with a range of offences including armed robbery.
Ait Khedache is said to have admitted his involvement in the well organised heist after his DNA was found on ties used on Ms Kardashian’s wrists.
His son, Harminy Ait Khedache, 27, is thought to have driven one of the gang’s getaway cars, and is one of eight others also charged.
Also charged are Pierre Bouainère, a 72-year-old career gangster, and a woman described as Christiane, 70, who was the regular girlfriend of Aomar Ait Khedache.
Another suspect who has admitted his involvement is Yunice Abas, a 63-year-old who is said to have dropped a piece of jewellery as the gang escaped on bicycles.
Abas is said to have left DNA on Abdulrahman, the concierge, and so has also confessed, according to judicial sources.
Ms Kardashian is being kept informed about all developments in the case, and her lawyers have made it clear that she is prepared to return to Paris to give evidence.
