Kim Kardashian-West has taken to social media to share the touching birthday present husband Kanye West gave her for her 40th.

The mum of four, to North, seven, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and Psalm, one, shared the gift, which was a hologram video of her late father Robert Kardashian, with followers on social media.

Alongside the video, she wrote, 'Hologram from Heaven

'For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad. ✨🤍 It is so lifelike and we watched it over and over, filled with lots so tears and emotion. I can’t even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mom and closest friends to experience together. Thank you so much Kanye for this memory that will last a lifetime ✨'. (sic)

In the video, Robert, who died in 2003 at the age of 59, tells Kim, "Happy birthday Kimberly. Look at you, you're 40 and all grown up.

"You look beautiful just like when you were a little girl. I watch over you and your sisters and brothers and the kids every day.

"The most beautiful thing that I have witnessed is watching you grow your family... You are the most, most, most, most amazing mother to your four beautiful children, and they are perfect.

"Keep doing what you're doing, Kimberley. You are a beautiful soul. Know that I am very proud of you and I'm always with you. I have built a firewall around our family."

It's certainly impressive, if a little eerie, and fans in the comments were conflicted about how to feel.

'This is literally the sweetest thing ever', commented one fan. Another wrote, 'Still gives me chills to see this. In person this was so touching and emotional. What a beautiful gift ❤️🙏🏽'. (sic)

Kim's sister Khloe also wrote, 'The most special gift EVER!! We ALL appreciated this so so much!!! Such a moving and emotional moment'.

On the flip side, another wrote, 'Am I the only one that thinks this is terrifying?' (sic)
