Paris Hilton hires more security guards to protect engagement ring

Paris Hilton has reportedly hired extra security to watch over her $2 million engagement ring after she got engaged to Chris Zylka over the weekend.

The 36-year-old socialite got engaged to 'Leftovers' star Chris Zylka over the weekend and is said to have now recruited more security to keep guard of her $2 million engagement ring.

A source tells People magazine that Paris has made the decision after her aunt Kyle Richards was recently burgled, with over $1 million in jewellery said to have been stolen.

Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that Paris's stunning engagement ring was inspired by her mother's own jewellery.

Diamond expert and celebrity jeweler Michael Greene said: "Paris at one point in time told Chris she really loved her mother's pear-shaped diamond, and when Chris came to me that was his request. The pear-shaped really jumped out for him and ultimately for her. He did some fishing, but in the end it was all him. He's a smart guy, and hangs out a lot with the family, and I think she realised how much she liked her mom's ring."

Paris and Chris confirmed their engagement earlier this week and the socialite admitted she "immediately said yes" when he popped the question on the ski slopes.

She shared: "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. I was so excited and surprised. I immediately said yes. The ring was so gorgeous and sparkling. I was shaking as I put it on. It is the most beautiful ring that I have ever seen."

Whilst Chris added: "Paris is the most beautiful and incredible woman both inside and out. I feel like the luckiest man in the world to be marrying my dream girl. I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together."
