Kim Kardashian denim smile fans Kim Kardashian paused to pose for pix with some of her littlest fans while out in LA yesterday.

The reality star slash producer was lucky X17online's cameras were there to capture the snaps -- because Kim's own camera was apparently taken by a "bedazzler" and has yet to be returned!

On Twitter Kim says she sent her camera to be "bedazzled" by a New York specialist back in December, and it's still yet to be returned!

Awww, we'll let you borrow our cameras anytime, Kim!
