The Kardashian family has security “with them 24/7” since the events of Kim’s robbery last year
Kim Kardashian West, 36, was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, France, in October last year and sources have now reported that since the ordeal the whole family – which includes Kim’s mother Kris, sisters Khloe and Kourtney, brother Rob, and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie – have been given a new security team which follows them “most of the time”.

A source said: “Security and privacy issues have changed not only for her but for the whole family. They have security guards most of the time when they go out.”
But the insider insisted the call for a new team wasn’t to do with their former bodyguard Pascal Duvier – who was let go from his position after the robbery – but because the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ stars wanted a “larger” team with “fresh eyes”.
They added to People magazine: “It wasn’t to do with issues with Pascal — they parted on good terms — but they just needed a fresh team with fresh eyes. This team is a lot larger and with them 24/7.”
The news comes just days after it was reported that Kim’s half sister Kendall, 21, had $200,000 worth of jewellery stolen from her house in the Hollywood Hills last week.
It is thought the burglars entered Kendall's house sometime between her leaving at lunchtime and returning home at 8pm. Kendall didn't raise the alarm at first as she didn't realise things had gone missing until she went to her bedroom just after one in the morning.
Meanwhile, Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner recently admitted the family is now “protected to a crazy level” since the events of both Kim and Kendall’s robberies.
Kris said: "It's an eye-opener how many people have tried to access our homes. [Now] we're protected to a crazy level."
