General Topology, chapter III, § 4. Groups operating properly on a topological space; compact ness in topological groups and spaces with operators

If A is a closed (resp. compact) subset of X, then K.A is closed in X (resp. compact if X is Hausdorff).

The assertion concerning closed sets follows from Proposition 1 and the fact that a proper mapping is closed (Chapter I, § 10, no. 1, Proposition 1). The assertion concerning compact sets is trivial.

It should be noted that if L is a compact subset of X, and F a closed subset of G, then F.L is not necessarily closed in X (§2§ 2, Exercise 29; cf. no. 5, Corollary to Proposition 12).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
