She is on cloud nine after her soulmate Chris Zylka popped the question with a mammoth teardrop diamond engagement ring last weekend.
And it has been claimed that Paris Hilton has taken the unusual step of hiring 24/7 security to protect her $2 million sparkler reports TMZ.
Sources close to the besotted couple reportedly told the website that heiress Paris, 36, is taking precautions due to the spate of celebrity burglaries in the past year, including the jewellery theft at her aunt Kyle Richards’ house.

It was claimed that while Paris already has round the clock security at her home, a plain-clothes ‘ring squad’ is always with her to ensure the safety of both the blonde beauty and her precious ring.
MailOnline has contacted Paris’ representatives for comment.
The pricey piece of jewelry features a 20-carat center stone set on a platinum split shank halo band which boasts another two carats of smaller diamonds, according to People.
This comes nearly one week after Paris’ actor beau Chris, 32, popped the question after nearly two years of dating.
Paris confirmed the news on Tuesday on social media after Chris got down on one knee during a romantic trip to Aspen, Colorado.
‘I am so excited to be engaged to the love of my life and my best friend. I have never felt so happy, safe and loved. He is perfect for me in every way and showed me that fairytales really do exist!’ she gushed.

In pictures Paris posted to her Instagram Chris – an actor who has starred in The Leftovers and The Amazing Spider-Man – can be seen bending down on one knee on a picturesque ski slope.
The leggy blonde wears a star spangled ski suit and metallic beanie for the moment as Chris, 32, presents her with the $2million pear-shaped diamond.
Beaming a big smile the 5ft 8in star can’t hide her joy as she gazes down at her husband-to-be.
Jeweler Michael Greene and his team designed the ring in two days, a process which normally takes several weeks.
‘Paris was not involved. Chris did it all,’ Greene told People, explaining that Chris wanted it ready before Aspen.
