Kim Kardashian’s high school best friend, celebrity stylist Simone Harouche, reportedly hid in the downstairs bathroom of the luxury Parisian apartment while Kim was robbed of $14 million in jewels.
Reports differ as to how Harouche was alerted to the fact her friend was in danger – some say Kim screamed for help, while others report she simply “heard noises” before hiding in the bathroom.
As the five armed robbers bound the reality star's wrists and locking her in a bathroom, Simone texted Kim's longtime bodyguard Pascal Duvier and her sister Kourtney Kardashian.

Not sure you can dial 911 because it's France???
she probably knew it wasn't 911, but wasn't sure what the emergency number was in France. I know it's 000 here, 111 in NZ, 999 in the UK and 911 in the USA. Wouldn't have a clue about any others.
911 is not the emergency number in France...or anywhere else apart from the USA.
It's not the emergency number in France - I believe it's 112 for most of Europe - but 911 isn't just the US number. It's also the number for most of the rest of North America, as well as some countries in South America, Africa and the Middle East. I believe in some other countries, 911 automatically redirects to whatever the local emergency number is.
