Kathy and Rick Hilton have spoken of their excitement after their daughter Paris Hilton announced this week that she’d welcomed her first child via surrogate.
The Simple Life star revealed on Tuesday that she and her husband Carter Reum were now doting parents to a little boy, and Katy and Rick have said they’re ‘thrilled’.
‘Paris and Carter, we know you are going to be the most amazing parents,’ the couple – who tied the knot in 1979 – said in a statement.
They added: ‘We are so thrilled for you both!’
Katy, 63, and Rick, 67, are already grandparents to Nicky Hilton’s two children, Lily-Grace and Teddy.
They added to People: ‘Thank you for this perfect addition to our ever-growing, beautiful family.’

The Hiltons’ statement came days after Paris shared the news that she had welcomed a son.
The 41-year-old US socialite and her husband Carter, also 41, became parents on Tuesday night.

Last month, Paris shared an update on her and Carter’s journey to parenthood and revealed she has eggs ‘stocked and ready’ for IVF transfer next year.

The reality star initially began the IVF process during the pandemic when lockdowns were in place.
Paris recently denied her mother’s claims that she and Carter were ‘struggling’ with IVF and explained at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala: ‘We started going and doing it like a few months in because the world was shut down.’
Often in demand across the globe as a DJ nowadays, meaning a jet-setting lifestyle, Paris described it as ‘perfect timing’ because she wasn’t able to fly anywhere.
‘We knew we wanted to start a family, and I was like, “This is perfect timing. Usually, I’m on a plane 250 days out of the year, and let’s just get all of the eggs stocked and ready,” and we have tons of them just waiting,’ she shared.
‘We really wanted to enjoy our first year of marriage together as a couple, you know, before bringing kids into the mix. So now that we just had our year anniversary, I can’t wait for 2023.’
