It's believed the masked thieves stole a valuable ring, her two mobile phones and a purse full of credit cards.
Reports suggest five men disguised as police officers tied up the mother-of-two and held her at gun point.
The men entered the hotel threatening the concierge desk and locked the American star in her suite’s bathroom - she's said to be extremely shaken but not physically hurt.
