Hilton has long been known as a dog lover. Her pets have their own Instagram account, and as she told PEOPLE in 2009, they reside in a “mini-mansion” that boasts its own chandelier.

On Sept. 23, they’ll also be television stars when Hilton’s new animated TV series Paris & Pups makes its debut on YouTube. As previously reported by PEOPLE, the series will follow 12-year-old Paris Star, a girl who lives in a hotel penthouse alongside her five dogs, all inspired by Hilton’s own pets.

After the devastating fires in Los Angeles in the summer of 2024, Hilton fostered a rescue dog named Zuzu that she later reunited with its family. “The love between Zuzu and her family is so special, and I’m so happy they’re reunited after everything they’ve been through. 💕,” Hilton wrote in an Instagram post in January.

Hilton’s enthusiastic about making sure that Phoenix and London are also dog lovers. On National Puppy Day in March, Hilton shared an Instagram Reel of her pups and her babies hanging out together. “My whole life, I have always loved my fur babies,” Hilton wrote. “And now I get to share my love for dogs with my babies.”

Alongside her husband Carter Reum, Hilton welcomed Phoenix to the family in 2023 via surrogate, and sister London followed in November 2023. She’s shared many videos of Phoenix and London playing with the family’s pups before, including a precious 2023 clip in which 11-month-old Phoenix petting a little black puppy.

 

Meanwhile, in January, Hilton shared a sweet photo of Phoenix napping while surrounded by dogs that she described as “adorable reminder to take a mindful moment”  after the family lost their Malibu home in the 2025 L.A. fires.

Along with her new addition, Hilton’s pet pooches also include a teacup chihuahua is called Prince Tokyo Gizmo Hilton.

 

Paris Hilton is in her ‘mom era’ with two kids and her new animated series ‘Paris & Pups’

Naturally, Paris Hilton conducted her interview with CNN with an adorable, tiny pup on her lap.

“She’s the new one,” Hilton said. “Her name is Iconic Princess Hilton.”

The word “iconic” and Paris Hilton have long been connected. After all, her latest album is called “Infinite Icon,” and more broadly, she’s the person many people credit with being the creator of the “selfie.”

Now, the heiress and reality star-turned-mogul and DJ is mining her childhood for her latest project.

 

“Paris & Pups” is a new Youtube animated series about a young Paris, who goes by Hilton’s childhood nickname “Star,” and her dogs.

Hilton said she was instrumental in the production of the show, from storylines to character names, so it was emotional seeing it come to fruition.

“This has been just such a love project and watching it for the first time, I was literally crying,” she said. “I was like, this is everything I ever dreamed of and more. It exceeded all my expectations. It’s just so fun to watch.”

The former party girl has always been known to have a multitude of small dogs over the years, and they even have their own social media account.

In addition to being a dog mom, Hilton is now a married mother of two and she said her son Phoenix, born in January 2023, and daughter London, born in November 2023, are already fans.

“London and Phoenix are the first people who watch the show so every time I get a new episode, we all watch it together with the puppies,” she shared. “And it is the cutest thing, seeing their reactions, how excited they get.”

Hilton said her kids like comparing the puppies on the screen to their pups at home.

“It’s really special just to create these memories together and watch the show together and see how much joy it brings to them,” she said.

She would like other families to have that same joy, which is why she developed the series.

“I have been thinking about ‘Paris & Pups’ my entire life, literally since I was five years old,” Hilton said. “I loved cartoons and it was always a dream of mine to have my own animated series based on my life with my puppies.”

Growing up, she said, she loved “My Little Pony,” “The Care Bears,” “Rainbow Brite,” “Jem” and “The Smurfs.” More recent animated shows, not so much, which also encouraged Hilton to have her own show.

“I feel like ‘CoComelon’ and those kind of cartoons are just kind of annoying and my kids don’t even like watching them. So I wanted to create something that the whole family could enjoy together and that when the kids watch, they can really learn amazing lessons,” she said.
