Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, 45, was held at gunpoint and robbed Wednesday night during an invasion at her Encino Hills home while her children, ages 7 and 5, were in the house.
Three men broke into the residence just before 11 p.m. PT while she was asleep, a source close to Kemsley told DailyMail.com.
Kemsley had only just returned from a trip to London, where she attended her nephew’s wedding on Tuesday night alongside her husband, PK Kemsley.
PK was still abroad at the time of the attack and is now headed back to California to be with his wife, who is said to have been ‘traumatized’ by the incident.
The source said Kemsley’s only focus during the invasion was to protect her children.

The unknown intruders entered the home around 10.50pm by smashing through the children’s classroom door.
Two of the suspects walked into Kemsley’s bedroom while she was sleeping. She woke to them standing at the end of her bed.
They grabbed her as as she begged: ‘Don’t hurt my babies. Don’t kill me. I’m a mother.’
To which one of the men responded: ‘Kill her.’
The intruders proceeded to ransack the house for about 20 minutes, stealing all of Kemsley’s jewelry and handbags.
They did not enter the bedrooms belonging to her children and no one was injured during the incident.
After the intruders left, Kemsley contacted police and her husband, who was in London at the time.
Los Angeles police said the identity of the suspects and value of stolen property remains unknown. The Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating.

PK and Kemsley attempted to sell their luxurious $6.5million Encino mansion in September 2020, just months after moving in.
The couple had listed the swanky modern farmhouse, located in an elite area of the Valley, for a whopping $9.495million with the help of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles realtor David Parnes.
The couple wanted to sell their home because they were ‘going to run their businesses from their house,’ a source told DailyMailTV at the time.
Jagger and Phoenix were also being home schooled so the Kemsleys were ‘looking for a larger estate that is laid out for this new COVID world we find ourselves in.’
The home’s stunning interior features an open floorplan, lots of natural light and what Kemsley once called her ‘dream kitchen’. The house also has an expansive outdoor space.
