North West made no effort trying to hide her annoyance for the paparazzi as she confronted them about why they constantly follow her and her family in a now viral video. Watch North's response below:
The eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has been seen out and about with her famous mother taking in the sights of the City of Lights during Paris Fashion Week.
But on the eve of Kim’s Balenciaga runway show, North was over the swarms of photogs following their every move as she headed to a car in the French capital.

In a now viral clip, the nine-year-old barely steps out of the venue doors with her pal Ryan, daughter of Kim’s BFF Tracy Romulus, when cameras start flashing.
Greeted by dozens of paparazzi – and understandably tired of their presence, she loudly asks: "Why do you have to wait for us all the time?" while walking down some steps.
To which one of the paps responds: "Because you're so famous, we love you!" as she heads straight into the car, while the Kardashians’ cousin, Cici Bussey, and Kim follow them seconds later.
After the video was posted online, fans expressed their concern over the awkward interaction on social media, many of whom discussed North’s apparent discomfort with the photographers’ presence and the difficulties of growing up in the spotlight.
One wrote: "Lights and flashes all the time!! Sounds to me like they are sick of it".
"... It’s too much… it’s already hard enough to be a child of famous people. Photographing children without their parents/consent is weird,” another commented.
A third echoed: "North West is tired of the paparazzi".
"This must be crazy n weird for lil kids growing up. Can't even get some space," another fan remarked.
Exactly it’s too much… it’s already hard enough to be a child of famous people. Photographing children without their parents/consent is weird

It’s not the first time North has commented about the constant swarm of paps invading her and her family’s space. In fact she famously first told them to respect her boundaries when she was just two.
In a viral video from 2015, North, a then-toddler, was captured shouting “no pictures!” to a group of photographers.
Then, in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians several years later, North asked her mum: "Why are there lots of people every day taking pictures of us?"
Aside her disdain for the paps, North does enjoy showing a glimpse into her life on the TikTok account she shares with Kim.
However it's not just North who is over photographers lately but her cousin Reign, Kourtney Kardashian's youngest son with ex Scott Disick.
In May, the seven-year-old told paps "no photos" and "give us a break!" as he made his way to his mum and stepdad Travis Barker's ceremony in Italy.
