A family warned others to “have a safe night” and “stay healthy” after they were robbed inside their Saint Tropez villa.

Robert Geiss and his wife, Carmen, shared chilling footage of armed men storming their property.

Surveillance footage of the incident involved the 61-year-old being beaten.

The couple, known for a reality TV series about their multimillionaire family, were relaxing in the living room when horror unfolded.

Four masked men appeared and reportedly held Carmen, 60, at knifepoint.

Robert was beaten as he tried to fight them off and suffered a “cracked rib”, according to his wife.

Carmen described the moment as “a brutal reality”, as reported by Need To Know.

“A robbery, not a movie,” Carmen, who is also a businesswoman, wrote.

“A brutal reality.

“I was injured, and my husband has a cracked rib.

“What we need is justice.

“Maybe someone recognises these cowardly perpetrators.

“Maybe someone can help.”

The couple both have 1.3m followers on Instagram.

The aftermath saw paramedics treat a cut on Carmen’s neck, while the villa had been left covered with shattered glass and destroyed furniture.

At the time, the couple were alone in the villa as their daughters, Davina and Shania, spent time in Monaco.

According to police, the break-in happened at around 3 am on 15 June.

Neighbours alerted authorities after hearing a commotion, but by the time officers arrived, the criminals had fled into the night through the garden.

Officers discovered bloodstains, overturned furniture, and signs of a struggle inside the home.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The couple, both originally from Cologne, Germany, used ChatGPT to generate an image of one of the men and what he might look like.

Businessman Robert stated that he hoped someone might “recognise him” from the image.

He said, “We analysed one of the perpetrators via ChatGPT.

“Take a look at the pictures, maybe someone will recognize him.

“We’d show ourselves discernment.

“We hope you have a safe night – and stay healthy.”

The family have their own show, which has 14 seasons, called Die Geissens – Eine schrecklich glamouröse.

Robert and Carmen have been married since 1994, and are known for their glamorous, globe-trotting lifestyle.

Their fans rushed to the comments and expressed their shock over what happened.

One person said: “It’s just terrible that you have to be afraid in your own four walls. Where have we landed up?”

Tobias said: “Terrifying. I will never understand this. This world is just broken.”

“Hope you’re okay again,” added Toni.
