Christine Quinn has revealed she and her family narrowly avoided a home invasion by ‘armed’ men after waking up to find them attempting to break into their home.
The Selling Sunset star, 33, and her husband Christian Richards, 43, were asleep in their home at the time, with their nine-month-old son Christian Georges Dumontet in his own room.
The couple woke up to hear noises getting louder outside their home and checked their CCTV to see two armed robbers attempting to smash the windows and gain access to their home.
Thankfully, the men were unable to break the triple-glazed safety glass and Christine was able to phone the police.
She told her followers on her Instagram story: ‘We were sleeping and we woke up to noises. The noises started getting louder and louder, and we didn’t know what was going on.
‘We immediately checked the security footage and outside of the master bedroom there was two armed robbers breaking our glass window.

‘Our windows are so strong and we have such good security in this house, that they weren’t able to get in.’
Christine added: ‘We immediately called the cops. The cops were here within a minute. We went into our baby’s room and immediately locked the door, and the cops were here instantly.
‘Because the robbers weren’t able to break into our house or any of our windows because they are double, triple paned windows and we take very serious precautions, they decided to leave.’
Christine also posted photos from the CCTV footage to ask people to come forward if they recognised either of the men.

She added: ‘This was the most horrifying moment of my life. When we’re laying in bed and there is two armed men that we’re watching on cameras, literally four feet from me and my baby sleeping.
‘I want people to know to take this very seriously. This stuff does happen in L.A. It’s happening all the time.
‘I don’t know what would have happened if they would have been able to get through that glass. Because they would have reached our bedroom and they would have probably shot us.’

Christine shared footage of the shattered glass which the robbers hadn’t managed to smash through, which thankfully prevented men from getting inside and the situation escalating further.
The couple live in a modern three-storey home in the Hollywood Hills above the Sunset Strip, an area popular with the rich and famous.
