The press have been heavily criticised for swarming around the toddler and continuing to take photos of her while she was walking somewhere with her minder.
Video footage shows the toddler telling a group of paparazzi “I said no pictures!” after being surrounded.
She is repeatedly photographed and led past a man with a large video camera who is standing in her way.

The press are heard laughing when they hear her speak, but carry on regardless.
Many people seemed to find the clip funny, with the child being labelled a 'diva', but the bleak footage caused others to feel disappointed that a two-year-old could be hounded by the press as aggressively as a grown adult.
“What a world we live in. This is sad. Leave the kids alone,” one person Tweeted.
“The fact she even knows that phrase at her age is the saddest part. Will she ever have another child?” said another user.
The Independent has contacted Kardashian's publicist for comment.
