Paris Hilton Adds a New Puppy to Her Furry Family
Nicky Hilton gave birth to a baby girl just three months ago, but the Hilton clan is already welcoming another new member to the family: Paris’s puppy!
On Tuesday, Paris took to Instagram to introduce her itsy-bitsy teacup Chihuahua to her fans.
“Meet the newest member to the @HiltonPets family,” the DJ giddily captioned the post, adding the heart-eyes emoji.
Paris, 35, still hasn’t picked out a name for her furry little friend — naturally, she’s stuck between “Diamond Baby” and “Love Bug.” But that hasn’t stopped the heiress from candidly sharing several photos of herself cuddling her new “baby.”

“So in love with my new baby girl!” Paris gushed as she nuzzled the adorable black-and-brown puppy.
In a subsequent post, she added, “Her little smile melts my heart.”
As a child, Paris dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. The business woman/DJ/former reality star may have chosen a different career path, but her love for animals has clearly never faded.
According to Nylon, Paris built a 300-square-foot, fully furnished, fully decorated air-conditioned structure in the backyard of her L.A. estate just to house her precious pups.
Her new pooch — worth an estimated $8,000 — will join Paris’s other pets at the “doggy mansion,” including one of the two $25,000 white teacup Pomeranians that she purchased in January 2015 and a miniature Pomeranian that Paris dropped $13,000 on just a few months later.
“I have, like, 35 pets,” Paris told VH1 News in 2013. “I have seven dogs, three cats, six ferrets, four sugar gliders — those are flying squirrels — a parrot, a pig, a pony, and a partridge in a pear tree.”
Sadly, Paris’s most famous pet of all — the iconic Tinkerbell — will not be there to welcome the new fur ball into the family.
Tinkerbell was by Paris’s side (or rather, in her handbag) as the socialite rose to fame following the success of her reality show, The Simple Life. In April 2015, a devastated Paris regretfully announced that the beloved Chihuahua had passed away.
It was a difficult time for Paris, but her love for her critters helped her pull through.
She continues to grow her furry family and couldn’t be more excited to add her newest “Supermodel Pup” to the mix.
Welcome to the “doggy mansion,” little guy!
