Transcript for New Details in Kim Kardashian West Jewelry Heist
Right now we'll get the latest on Kim Kardashian back home safe in the U.S. After that terrifying theft of millions of dollars worth of jewelry in Paris. Alex Marquardt has new developments in the investigation. Good morning, Alex. Reporter: Good morning, George. That's right. This hotel where Kim Kardashian was staying is known as the no address hotel because of how discreet it is but many including the police are now saying that it was Kardashian's indiscretions online that made they are such a target. This morning, French authorities on the hunt for the gang of thiefs that quickly turned Kim Kardashian's Paris fashion week vacation into a nightmare. Kim, how are you doing. Reporter: She arrived back at home in New York Monday afternoon with husband Kanye west. This taken by TMZ, the entrance under heavy guard by her own security as well as NYPD. It started after 2 A.M. In Paris on Monday. Not long after Kim posted this snapchat from the exclusive apartment she's hendz rented for the week. The luxurious hotel featured in this 2014 episode of "Keeping up with the kardashians." Five masked men enter the building and two into her apartment. They tied her up, put plastic cable ties around her wrists and put her in the bathroom. She was hysterical but not screaming. She ran to a balcony where she screamed for help and called her bodyguard at a nearby club with her mother and sister. The thieves taking off with more than $10 million worth of jewelry including her $4.5 million ring, reportedly a gift from Kanye west she showed off on instagram days ago. I'm sorry, family emergency, I have to stop the show. Reporter: He reached the rapper thousands of miles away in New York who stopped his show. Their children were reportedly with their father in New York. Celebrity children have become almost as famous as their celebrity parents and for Kim and Kanye I think probably that priority is to make sure they are as secure and safe as possible because they have two children. Reporter: This high-profile break-in, an embarrassment for Paris and the no address hotel, the Parisian home for a long list of celebrities. The security is done by the authorities so it's confidential, no name on the door. Reporter: The social media queen now getting backlash for her online antics and Paris playing saying it was the celebrity who was targeted with possessions that happen seen and noticed by social media and it was these goods that the attacker targeted. Secret that a former member of Kanye's security agrees with. You couldn't snapchatting you're home and what you have with us. A critical paradise to know that. Reporter: The authorities said very little about this case and what little they have said has been very defensive. Tourism this France has dropped off a cliff after all the major terror attacks and as one person told me this is the last thing that Paris needs right now. No question about that. Thanks very much. Let's talk to brad Garrett, now an ABC news consultant. Matt fiddes as well. High priority for Paris. What are the big clues. This was planned, George, my guess is they knew the bodyguard was not in her apartment and now Hugh to get in. The big key is control and they knew where the jewels were and they moved them. You said they knew the bodyguard was not in the apartment. Does that imply someone inside the Kardashian camp tipped them off. Maybe or they do great surveillance and may have her phone hacked. All sorts of ways to find out if she was alone or not. The key with them, they know what's going on and control the scene. Through the concierge, through movement of the jewelry and would be willing to bet within hours the that jewelry was out of France. What's the breakdown here and what happened, Matt? I wouldn't like to speculate. There's no new information coming out. It's very bizarre for me to get my head around after looking at the high-profile people for 20 years, how somebody of Kim Kardashian's huge fame, I mean, worldwide in a capital like Paris which is one of the biggest target risks for terrorist attacks in the world in the last 12 to 14 months that they've had three attacks there and to have a high-profile American there she would really be a target so I really do not understand, it's totally beyond anything I'm used to. I've never had any of my clients or celebrities star friends experienced anything of someone jumping over the boundaries of a gate or parachute landing in neverland and guards jumping on it. It's very odd. Should there have been a bodyguard in the apartment with her at the time? Absolutely. Absolutely. To give you an idea how we did things with past clients I've worked with we had an adjoining room to the apartments or suites and bodyguards inside and as well as surveillance equipment, CCTV and link up to the police station and bodyguards outside. Normally suv-type cars and that would be a process and we would sweep the bedrooms and make sure everything is in place and what concerns me too is, about five or six days ago I believe, there was a situation where she was approached and seemed to be just one bodyguard, this gentleman in question who said -- Should have more security in place. Okay, Matt, thanks. Should have been a wake-up call for him. Final question, brad Garrett. This jewelry is so high profile how could anyoneven sell it. They're not going to sell it as is. They moved it into another country and they'll shave off or cut off or Polish off any identifying like I.D. Numbers and break it up. It's already in watches someplace in another jewelry store. Brad Garrett, thanks very much.
