French newspaper L’Equipe said Marqinhos’ dad was hit several times in the face and chest by the intruders, said to have confused the property with the footballer’s.
Cabrino, who got her break appearing on a reality TV show in their native Brazil, posted a statement on her Instagram confirming the break-in which said: “The house of Marquinhos’ parents was burgled while his family was inside.
“But no-one suffered and everyone is okay and recovering from the shock.”
The statement, from a spokesman for Marquinhos, added: “The French authorities have opened an inquiry.”
Team-mate Angel Di Maria’s home was also targeted during the match.
The Argentine was substituted in the 62nd minute and escorted down the tunnel by boss Mauricio Pochettino before being informed about what happened and leaving in tears.
Initial reports pointed to members of his family being kidnapped, although it later emerged his wife and two daughters had been upstairs when the break-in occurred and only found out about it afterwards.
The thieves reportedly took jewellery from a safe worth around £430,000.
L’Equipe reported on Monday that PSG will fund 24-hour security for its stars in wake of the spate of robberies.
Many of the players have video surveillance but security guards will be hired to help afford the footballers and their families more protection.
