| Posted: 17 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST Tamara Ecclestone's husband Jay Rutland has said today that 'nothing will dampen our festive spirit', despite the £50 million raid on their London home. The 38-year-old posted an image on Instagram with a caption saying that 'more important than any possessions' his family were safe following the burglary in which diamond earrings as well as Rolex, Hublot and Cartier watches were stolen. Previously his father-in-law, former Formula One supremo and billionaire tycoon, Bernie Ecclestone, told MailOnline that the theft form their £70 million west London home may have been an 'inside job'. The couple were in Lapland, Finland, when they were told about the theft of jewels from their home in Kensington on Friday night. They have been staying in a luxury Alpine ski resort in Bern, Switzerland, for a five-day break over the Christmas period, where their five-year-old daughter, Sophia, was taken to meet Santa. Mr Rutland also posted a clip of ITV's Lorraine Kelly discussing the raid on Tuesday, where the presenter said she 'couldn't understand' why they would have so many valuables in their home. Lorraine added: 'Just get it all from Claire's Accessories and nobody will want to steal it' and suggested their social media posts from Lapland signposted their empty mansion.' But Mr Rutland hit back on Instagram saying: 'Cheers Lorraine. I hope you never have the misfortune to be robbed'.

Mr Rutland also criticised another presenter, Kate Thornton, who had commented on the burglary as well. In the lengthy message, Mr Rutland said he 'truly hope you never have to experience having your homes ransacked and violated', adding that his daughter had been asking if the raiders were going to come back. He wrote on social media: 'It's Christmas and when we have an excited 5 year old, nothing is going to dampen our festive spirit. Strange few days but as a family we move forward with our heads up and a smile. 'We are all safe and that is more important that any possessions...And to the people that want to laugh about what's happened, like @lorrainekellysmith and @thekatethornton, I truly hope you never have to experience having your homes ransacked and violated. 'Perhaps if you heard my daughter asking if the burglars are going to come back you might have a little more empathy. Peace.' Ms Thornton had commented on a photograph that Ms Ecclestone had posted on Instagram of her daughter boarding a private jet to Lapland hours before the burglary. She wrote: 'Maybe the moral of the story is, if you've got £50 million of jewels at home, don't let people know you're not there.' Mr Rutland also posted a cryptic meme on social media saying: 'When the grass is cut, the snakes will show.'

The couple began their festive break in Lapland, where they were informed about the burglary at their £70 million home in Kensington, west London, on Friday night. Despite the bad news, they continued to enjoy themselves, frolicking in the Lapland snow and posing for photographs with reindeers before arriving in Switzerland determined not to let the theft ruin their Christmas holiday.  Smiling and relaxed, Tamara Ecclestone is seen for the first time since her entire £50 million jewellery collection was stolen from her London home as she arrived in Switzerland  The F1 heiress's husband Jay Rutland was seen clutching a man bag on the tarmac after the family were flown by private jet to Bern and then onto at Gstaad Airport by helicopter  Huddling against the wind, Tamara lovingly crouches over her daughter Sophie, five, as they make their way from the helicopter that flew them to Gstaad, an luxury resort in the Swiss Alps   Ms Ecclestone, 35, and her daughter Sophia pose with Father Christmas in Lapland, northern Finland after their Kensington home was burgled on Friday night with £50m of gems taken The heiress broke her silence today over the raid as she posted a picture of her and daughter meeting Santa with the message: 'We will continue full of love.' Three raiders reportedly broke into Ms Ecclestone's 57-room mansion through the garden before heading straight to the safes and spending around 50 minutes in the house, which is located on one of London's most exclusive roads. Tamara, the daughter of billionaire former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, has two engagement rings, worth £250,000 each, but it is not known if these were taken.  The couple were flown by private jet from their Lapland getaway before arriving in Gstaad by helicopter. Ms Ecclestone is seen being helped from the aircraft with her Louis Vitton bag  Her husband Mr Rutland, who has posted cryptic messages on social media about the robbery at the couple's home, crouched down as he left the helicopter after the 15-minute flight  Formula One heiress Ms Ecclestone was said to be 'absolutely devastated' after the raid on her 57-room mansion in which burglars spent 50 minutes in her bedroom and raided the safes She also has several sets of diamond stud earrings valued at around £50,000 per pair and a large watch collection including Rolex, Hublot and Cartier pieces worth up to £100,000 a pop. The gang were able to smash open several bedroom safes and fled via an open window despite a guard sitting in a CCTV room and the mansion being run by up to 50 staff. Ms Ecclestone was said to be in 'complete devastation and shock' after the precious gems were stolen from her London home. Neighbours were also shocked at Friday night's break-in, which took place on one of the most prestigious streets in London with 24-hour security patrols and checkpoints. Guards are also believed to be present at all times inside the property, where Ms Ecclestone lives with Mr Rutland. Bernie believes the theft from his eldest daughter's high security Billionaires' Row mansion was an inside job. The former F1 supremo fears she has been betrayed after the three burglars were able to spend so long at the west London home. One security guard who was supposed to be guarding the property went to fill his car with petrol at 10pm on the night of the heist.  The heist at Ecclestone's house (above) took place on one of London 's most exclusive streets, nicknamed Billionaire's Row, in Kensington, which has 24-hour security and checkpoints because of the rich residents and embassies on the road A second security guard was meant to be monitoring CCTV cameras in the control room. The family had just boarded a private jet for Lapland suggesting the timing of the raid hours later could be no coincidence. Mr Ecclestone told MailOnline: 'I don't have all the facts but given all the security at the house, I'm assuming it was an inside job. 'It's an awful thing to happen just after she had left the house to go to Lapland. Although maybe it's better that she wasn't in at the time'. He added: 'I've tried to call her this morning to see what the latest is but I couldn't get through.' Scotland Yard has not yet made any arrests but one line of inquiry for detectives will be if the thieves were helped by someone on the inside who knew the family were away and where their safes were hidden.  Police are said to have an 'open mind' about whether this Instagram photo of Ms Ecclestone's daughter Sophia and their dog Teddy boarding a private in the hours before the £50m burglary may have tipped off the raiders to an empty mansion   Ms Ecclestone and Sophia were all smiles in Instagram videos made by Jay of them meeting Santa and his reindeer  Thieves stole £50million worth of jewellery from Ms Ecclestone, pictured with husband Jay, wearing an £80,000 Cartier bangle wedding gift and diamond earrings that were stolen from safes hidden in their bedroom |
