Kim Kardashian does not blame her personal bodyguard for her traumatic robbery ordeal, which saw her threatened with a gun to her head, tied up and dumped in a bathtub inside her luxury Paris apartment.

Despite the fact Pascal Duvier was not there for the reality star when she needed him the most, she is not angry because she always felt safe staying by herself in the apartment at the Hotel de Pourtalès, a source told Us magazine.

'Kim is not blaming Pascal. She felt completely safe at the Paris apartment and doesn't believe this is his fault in any way,' they said.

Family man: Kim Kardashian's bodyguard Pascal Duvier is a father-of-two who has earned his own social media following 

Duvier has vowed to track down the five men who robbed the star at gunpoint after he came under fire for enjoying a night on the town at Arc nightclub in the French capital with Kourtney and Kendall Kardashian while his charge was bound and robbed.

'The events that occurred in Paris was one of the most sickening things I have seen or heard,' Duvier said.

'We have tips and leads and we will find you. That I promise you...you messed with the wrong one,' he warned.

Duvier rushed to Kim's luxury Paris apartment when he heard about the raid early Monday morning from her friend Simone Harouche, but by then the five masked men had escaped on rented bicycles and left Kim tied up in her bathroom.

At work: Duvier was working on Sunday and escorted Kim Kardashian as she left l'Avenue restaurant after a lunch with her mother Kris Jenner in Paris. But when the raid took place he was with Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian 

Dapper: The German bodyguard is not exactly inconspicuous. He often shared selfies on social media after building his own online following thanks to his work with celebrities 

They took off with a ring worth a reported $4.5million (€4 million /£3.5 million) - last seen on Kim's finger in a Snapchat post earlier that night - and a jewelry box worth $6.7 million (€6 million/ £5.24 million).

The burly German bodyguard, who stands at 6'4' and weighs a hefty 264 pounds, has been working for Kim and Kanye since 2013.

It was just a few days ago that Kim declared 'Pascal's a G! He's the best bodyguard in town' after he saved her from being grabbed by a prankster in Paris.

Despite the fact Kim may have forgiven him, others have blasted Duvier for allowing the shocking security lapse on Monday.

Matt Fiddes, who worked as Michael Jackson's bodyguard for more than 10 years, said he was stunned the robbers had even got past the front door of the luxury Hotel de Pourtalès she was staying in - let alone to her bedroom.

Concerned: Duvier posted throwback photos on Twitter of a time Kim got swamped by fans and paparazzi and said 'this make me angry'  

Speaking to MailOnline, he said: 'The only people to blame are her security team. She is the most high profile female celebrity in the world...she is probably more recognisable than the American president.

'She has millions of fans and she should have had security prepared.

'When I was with Michael it just wouldn't have happened. The robbers wouldn't have got past the front door, let alone to her bedroom.'

According to his LinkedIn profile, Duvier has lots of experience with high profile clients.

He has previously worked for the Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Will.i.am, the Pussycat Dolls, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Lana del Rey and Katy Perry.

But since becoming Kim's personal bodyguard, he seems to have started lapping up the limelight almost as much as the reality star.

The father-of-two has become known for the fanny pack he wears on the job and has made appearances on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

His social media pages are littered with selfies and interactions with 'fans'.

He has 12,000 fans on Twitter, where he answers their questions about what it's like to be a celeb bodyguard.

Motivational tips: Duvier shares his life lessons on social media, claiming 'every experience is a lesson for life'

Undercover: The bodyguard says he tries to stay 'incognito' 

'Who ever asks me to deliver a message to a client of mine will be muted and blocked. I'm sick of that sh*t!! I'm not a messenger!!,' he wrote in one post.

On October 2 - hours before the raid on Kim's apartment - he wrote: 'You don't become a bodyguard over night. It's a job with dedication, responsibility and passion.'

When one fan said he should have kicked prankster Vitalii Sediuk 'in the balls' when he tried to tackle Kim, Duvier replied: 'Anytime if there are no cameras around to record it'.

In another post in August he urged 'holla when you see me!!'.

Fans also share photos of Duvier and his 'superhuman' strength.

One woman shared a picture of him lifting her with just one hand in Melbourne, Australia.

'Only Pascal Duvier, the superhuman, can lift a person with one arm. I had the honors,' she wrote on Instagram.

Before he deleted his Instagram account on Tuesday, Duvier was fond of sharing selfies from his workouts at the gym and also gave a glimpse at his family life with his two daughters.

Other pictures show the huge meals that help him stay strong for the job such as sushi and steak in one sitting. Duvier is reported to eat around 18 egg whites a day to keep up his protein.  

But he is not all brawn, Duvier also appears to have a softer side and posts motivational quotes on his social media accounts.

'Being the first doesn't always make you a winner,' he said.

'Every experience is an lesson for life [sic],' he also wrote.
