She told The Sun on Wednesday night: ‘I’m so, so upset. It’s really shaken me up. I won’t be staying by myself tonight.’
The former model may have been targeted by a gang operating in the area.
But despite her terror, Kelly reassured fans that she’s coming to terms with the unsettling incident, adding: ‘We just have to keep on keeping on’.
Kelly is said to have seen the burglar running away from the rear of her north west London home after her mansion was targeted for valuables.

A neighbour of the former model told MailOnline yesterday: ‘Kelly was burgled last night. Police spoke to me and wanted to know if I had any further information.’
A source added: ‘Kelly has been left really shaken up by the burglary.
‘Police were called between 7pm and 8pm on Tuesday but the thief had managed to escape before they arrived at the property.
‘They did get away with some electronic items and jewellery but it’s more the fear of someone being at her home which has upset Kelly.’

A source close to Kelly revealed yesterday: ‘The police arrived between 7pm and 9pm last night.
‘We think she may have returned home after her slot on Heart FM and disturbed the burglar while he was still in her house.
‘He managed to escape with electronic items and some jewellery. Understandably Kelly has been left terribly shocked by this.’
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: ‘Police were called at around 7.35pm on Tuesday February 11 to a report of a burglary at an address in London.
‘There was no report of injury. Officers attended the location and have begun an investigation. There has been no arrest at this early stage.’
