Kim Kardashian has ended her social media silence, just not in the traditional sense.

Two months on from her Paris robbery, Kim Kardashian West has broken her social media silence, but not in the traditional sense.

Celebrating the first birthday of her ridiculously cute and giggly son, Saint West, Kim’s extended family and friends shared photos and memories across their social media accounts and websites, including images of Kim in their tributes.

“I can’t believe today is Saint’s first birthday!” friend Jonathan Cheban wrote on Kim’s official website on her behalf. “In honor of his birthday, I convinced Kim to let me share some never-before-seen pics! Happy birthday, Saint!” the post continued.

Alongside the message was two previously unseen images of Saint smiling, trying to grab Kim's cheeks as she moved in for a kiss.

The photo is one of the first images released by Kim since being held at gunpoint and robbed of $14 million worth of jewels in October. And just two weeks ago, husband Kanye West was hospitalised for exhaustion and ongoing mental health issues.

But despite the family's rough year, it is understood Kim, Kanye, three-year-old daughter North and Saint all spent the day together at home celebrating their baby's milestone day.

Similar messages of love were also shared by Kim's sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, and mum Kris Jenner.

"I can't believe how quickly time flies!" Khloe wrote on her website. "Watching my little Saint grow this past year has been amazing. He's seriously such an angel and could not be more adorable. What a light he's been for our family!"

Kendall agreed, writing, "Saint, I can't believe it's been a year since you came into our lives! You're the sweetest addition to the fam. Even though you're still so young, you already have the most happy and amazing personality. I love you!" on her own website.

Posting a photo of her grandson to Instagram, Kris simply shared, "Happy birthday to our sweet angel, Saint!"
