Nikkie de Jager, better known as NikkieTutorials on YouTube, told her followers her home had been broken into.
She said one of her "biggest nightmares became reality" when armed robbers entered her house she shares with her fiancée Dylan.
At least three people raided de Jager's home, according to Dutch news outlets.
"Dylan and myself got attacked but physically we're okay," de Jager said on Instagram. "Mentally it's a whole other story."
NikkieTutorials, a YouTuber with 13.5 million subscribers, told her fans over the weekend that her home in Uden, Netherlands, had been broken into.
The beauty guru, whose real name is Nikkie de Jager, posted a statement on her Instagram on Sunday where she said one of her "biggest nightmares became reality" when she was robbed at gunpoint in her own house.
De Jager lives with her fiancée Dylan Drossaers and they were both at home when the robbers broke in.
"Dylan and myself got attacked but physically we're okay," de Jager wrote. "Mentally it's a whole other story."
She said she was writing the message to let her fans know she was "okay" and safe, but would be taking some time off posting.
"Thank you for understanding as I take the next couple of days to myself," she said, adding a heart emoji.
Dutch news outlets reported that at least three people were part of the break-in which occurred at around 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Local police tweeted that one resident in the house sustained "superficial injuries."
"We conduct research at the location, such as hearing witnesses," the tweet reads. "Our forensic investigation department will also carry out a trace investigation."
