A Paris court has awarded Kim Kardashian 1 euro after she was robbed at gunpoint in the French capital in 2016, according to a lawyer involved in the case. The court awarded an amount equal to what she had asked for. Kardashian has sought to move on after eight people were found guilty for their roles in the robbery, described by the U.S. celebrity as "the most terrifying experience of my life."

The court awarded a former receptionist at the Hôtel de Pourtalès 109,516 euros, while the hotel itself received 50,000 euros. Simone Bretter, Kardashian's stylist who was present during the robbery, received the 1 euro. Two of the robbers, dressed as police, bound Kardashian with zip ties and tape and stole over $6 million worth of jewelry.
