"  Kim Kardashian&amp;#039;s hospital records have reportedly been &amp;#039;breached&amp;#039;. Five employees and a student research assistant at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have been fired after &amp;quot;inappropriately accessing&amp;quot; patient medical records, according to the Los Angeles Times.    \u00A9 Broadimage/Rex Features  Kim Kardashian  The breaches took place between June 18 and June 24, at which time Kardashian was recovering from giving birth to her daughter North West on June 15. Officials at the hospital - which is often used by Hollywood stars - have refused to publicly name any of the 14 patients affected, though TMZ claims that Kardashian was called and warned that her records had been accessed. The website also alleges that Kardashian&amp;#039;s family raised the alarm after details of North&amp;#039;s birth that she had kept secret appeared in media reports. The reality star is said to be happy that action has been taken against the employees involved.    \u00A9 Startraks Photo/Rex Features  Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in New York  Five of the employees only accessed one patient record inappropriately, while the other one looked at 14. However, they will no longer be able to access Cedars-Sinai records, even if they find work at another health provider. Officials confirmed that they will notify law enforcement &amp;quot;out of an abundance of caution&amp;quot;, although the workers are not thought to have committed any crimes. Cedars-Sinai&amp;#039;s chief privacy officer David Blake said that the health center has &amp;quot;a high standard for security&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;Unauthorised access to any patient&amp;#039;s record is, quite simply, unacceptable.&amp;quot; The hospital also vowed to provide more privacy training to employees and to add more &amp;quot;safeguards and redundancies&amp;quot; to the computer system. Reps for Kardashian and her boyfriend Kanye West have not commented on the reports. View all of today&amp;#039;s best celebrity pictures - Photo gallery: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
