French judge quizzes Kardashian over theft

A French judge has travelled to New York to question Kim Kardashian over the armed robbery in Paris last year.

The French judge in charge of the investigation into Kim Kardashian's armed robbery last year in Paris was in New York to interview the US TV reality star in the case, a source close to the matter says.

The judge was expected in particular to show Kardashian pictures of the suspected thieves to try to confirm their identities.

US celebrity news website TMZ first reported the judge was in New York to take testimony from her.

In the early hours of October 3, thieves wearing balaclavas and fake police jackets burst into the luxury property in central Paris where Kardashian, who is married to US rap star Kanye West, was sleeping.

They tied her up at gunpoint before making off on bicycles with her engagement ring and other jewels worth 9 million euros ($A12.79 million), authorities said at the time.

Paris prosecutors have placed 10 people under formal instigation on suspicion they were involved in the robbery
