Now that’s sweet.
Paris Hilton took part in a heartwarming reunion between an Altadena family and their beloved dog, Zuzu.
“Letting go is never easy, but moments like this remind me why fostering is so important,” she wrote on Instagram. “Zuzu came into my life during one of the most heartbreaking times, and she was truly a beacon of hope. Saying goodbye to her was so hard, but seeing her family’s faces when they arrived to bring her home made it all worth it.”
When Zuzu’s family picked her up at Hilton’s mansion, they thanked her for her generosity and commended her for saving her.
“Just making my son’s whole week that he gets to have his dog back,” the owner told “The Simple Life” star in a video posted to the platform. “Love you for doing this. I really appreciate it.”
Hilton assured Zuzu’s owners that she was taken care of.
“She just got groomed yesterday,” she explained. “We’ve been having movie night every night, she’s been cuddling and sleeping in between my husband and I in bed with us.”
Hilton then provided the family with additional gifts as well.
About two weeks ago, Hilton revealed she fostered Zuzu after the dog’s family lost their home in the Eaton Fire. They were forced to surrender the pup to the Pasadena Humane Society, where the Heiress was volunteering and bringing awareness to the animals found amid the wildfires. She said she “jumped at the opportunity to foster Zuzu.”
This was the first time Hilton had ever fostered a dog.
And Zuzu was “sliving her best life” with the DJ. “Sliving” is a word Hilton invented, which combines “slaying” and “living.”
Hilton posted videos of Zuzu in her lap as they drove through the palm-tree-lined streets of Beverly Hills and playing alongside her two children, son Phoenix Barron, 2, and daughter London Marilyn, 13 months.
“The love between Zuzu and her family is so special, and I’m so happy they’re reunited after everything they’ve been through. I’ll always cherish the time I had with her and can’t wait to foster again,” Hilton said.
This experience has left a lasting impact on Hilton.
“This just makes me want to do this again,” she explained. “So I’m going to talk to everyone at Pasadena Humane to see if there’s any other animals in need of fostering. I hope this inspires others to do the same.”
