Tonight's episode is going to be very tough for me. However, I thought it was important to share this story through my eyes & not in an interview where my own words could be twisted. I have always shared so much & I'm not going to hold back when this was probably one of the most life changing experiences for me. I would never wish this experience upon anyone, but have learned some valuable lessons & feel so blessed to be safe home with my babies & husband. To my friends, family, and loved ones I can't thank you enough for being there when I needed you the most. To the French police, thank you for your incredible hard work. *This was our last family photo taken in Paris

Speaking previously, Kim admitted she "knew something wasn't right" just before the whole terrifying incident happened.

She recalled: "I'm calling to them [her sister and assistant], like, 'Hello? Hello?' And there's no answer. And then at that moment when there wasn't an answer, my heart started to get really tense. Like, you know [when] your stomach just kind of knots up and you're like, 'OK, what's going on?' I knew something wasn't quite right.

"[I saw] two guys holding another guy down, in police uniforms, right outside of my bedroom, five feet away ... The guy came in and grabbed the phone from me, threw me on the bed, and I was like, 'This is it.' I couldn't understand them, they couldn't understand me. What I've heard from talking to [the concierge] afterwards is they said, 'Where is the rapper's wife? Let us up to her room.'"
