Kim Kardashian was in tears as Kanye West helped get the remaining footage of her infamous sex tape.

On the most recent episode of Hulu's The Kardashians, the 41-year-old reality star broke down after West, 44, met up with her ex-boyfriend and musician Ray J, 41, to get the hard drive, computer tower, and monitor containing the footage.

Per the Daily Mail, the SKIMS founder was backstage before hosting SNL when she called her mother Kris Jenner, sister Khloe, and friends into her room.

When they got there, Jenner saw West and mentioned: "I haven't seen you in forever," the rapper then replied: "I had to go to LA and come back. I just traveled to get something for Kim".

With tears in her eyes, Kardashian says: "So Kanye flew home last night and he came back this morning and I wanna show you guys what he got me."

West then brings out a large black roller bag as the former Keeping Up with the Kardashians star says: "He got me the computer it was on, the hard drive and met up with Ray J at the airport and got it all back for me."

As per CNN, Kardashian said West collected the footage not just for her but also for the four young children they share: "I want to shield them from as much as I can. And if I had the power to or if Kanye has the power to, like that is just the most important thing to me. And I'm just so emotional because of it."

Kardashian and West, now legally separated, are parents to daughters North, eight, and Chicago, four; and sons Saint, six, and Psalm, two.

The new series was released and debuted with Kardashian learning that there might be more footage from her sex tape. The notorious tape was filmed in 2007 when Kardashian and Ray J were dating, and it catapulted her rise to fame. The hard drive also featured footage from 2002.

In any case, during the episode, West said he didn't pay anything to retrieve the remaining footage. The socialite also revealed in the confessional that the footage contained moments that were "nothing sexual or weird" and were normal videos of her and Ray J at a nightclub and restaurant.

She added: "And so now I can take a deep breath and not worry about this right before SNL, right before the bar, right before like everything".

The newest episode of the reality show was filmed before Kardashian was dating SNL cast member Pete Davidson. In March, she was declared legally single.
