The distasteful Halloween costume based on Kim Kardashian's Paris robbery has been pulled from sale.
The costume, which was dubbed the Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume Kit, is no longer featured on the site after it sparked a huge backlash.
Released just days after the harrowing ordeal in which Kim, 35, was held at gunpoint and robbed of jewellery worth millions, Costumeish.com faced severe criticism after the offensive costume was shared.
It comes after the site reportedly initially refused to remove the item, but now founder Johnathon Weeks has agree to refund the six people who had bought the costume, TMZ reports.
The costume was being sold for online for $69.99, complete with a white bath robe, mouth gag, and yellow hand ties.
It came with a fake '$4 million dollar ring' and an animated Kim K on her knees features alongside the product.
The image was seen wearing shades with the gag in her mouth and her hands tied in front of her.
The description read: "She has devoted her life to promoting American decadence, youth, and hedonism but all that flashy living caught up with her one night in Paris when armed men bound her, stole her jewellery and her peace of mind."
It added: "This Halloween have some fun with pop culture and dress just like the Queen of Social media."
Fans have hit out at the company online, with one writing: "plllleeeease let me catch you in the kim kardashian robbery halloween costume your life will end on october 31st."
A second blasted: "You should be ashamed of yourselves you sick f**ks. Hope you get robbed at gunpoint so you psychopaths know how it feels. Pathetic."
"This costume is not only f**king tasteless but completely disrespectful of a very serious situation that not only Kim Kardashian has experienced but countless other women and men," a third then posted.
Mum-of-two Kim feared she'd be raped when masked men stormed into her hotel room during Paris Fashion Week and tied her up.
They reportedly placed her in the bath and she begged them to spare her life before they made off with millions of pounds worth of jewellery.
