He's not her lover or her sister, but Pascal Duvier has spent almost as much time by Kim Kardashian's side as anyone.

The former security guard for Kim, husband Kanye and much of the Kardashian clan was fired by the couple in the wake of the Paris robbery in October 2016.

And now Duvier has spoken out about the incident that left Kim fearing for her life, telling Fairfax media he would happily venture back to the French capital despite the incident.

No worries: Kim Kardashian's former bodyguard Pascal Duvier (back) has said he will happily return to Paris despite the robbery that led to him losing his job

'If I would try to avoid all places I had bad memories, then I can't even stay home,' Duvier said.

'[I am] not avoiding anything. Unfortunately everywhere you are nowadays you have to be careful.'

On the night of the incident Duvier had left Kim in her hotel room and followed her younger sisters Kendall and Kylie to a Paris nightclub.

The bodyguard went to ground in the wake of the robbery, admitting he tried to escape the constant harassment from international media.

His family - including his two young daughters - were also targeted, with rumours circulating that the estimated $15 million heist was an inside job.  

But in relation to the robbery, he this week refused to make any direct comment out of fear he may 'compromise the investigations'.

Having spent years by Kim and later Kanye's side, Duvier remained loyal until the end, also declining to comment on his firing in the wake of the robbery.

'This is a question that comes up often and to be honest it doesn't matter if I do or I don't [work for Kim and Kanye],' he said.

'The client should be the one answering that question.'

Last Thursday, French police arrested 17 people over the incident and have since charged three men.
