Paris Hilton Reveals if She’d Ever Replace Mom Kathy on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” (Exclusive)

**Paris Hilton Declines Reality TV Role, Celebrates Family Traditions with Kathy Hilton**

Paris Hilton, the media mogul and socialite, recently confirmed that she is not considering a role on *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*, despite her mother Kathy Hilton’s prominent presence on the show. Kathy, who has garnered attention for her humorous and dramatic contributions to the long-running Bravo series, has been a familiar face since Season 10, often appearing alongside her sisters Kim and Kyle Richards.

At the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Los Angeles on 18 April 2026, Paris spoke to *PEOPLE*, stating, “My mum is the OG and the queen. She can’t be topped,” while explaining that the show’s intense drama does not appeal to her. The 45-year-old revealed that her current commitments keep her too occupied to consider joining the cast.

Kathy Hilton has taken on various roles throughout her *RHOBH* journey, beginning as a guest in Season 10 before evolving into a “friend of” the cast in Seasons 11 and 12, before momentarily reverting to a guest role in Season 13. She has since returned to friend status for Seasons 14 and 15. Meanwhile, her sisters have deep roots in the show, with Kim being part of the original cast when the series debuted in 2010. Kyle remains the sole original member still active on the show, while Kim departed her main role after the fifth season.

Although Paris is no stranger to reality television—having starred alongside Nicole Richie in the popular series *The Simple Life* from 2003 to 2007—she appears to prefer focusing on her emerging career as a DJ. In addition to her musical pursuits, she released a documentary entitled *This Is Paris* in 2020, which highlighted the challenges she faced during her time in a troubled teen industry, sharing her experiences of physical and emotional abuse at her boarding school.

Alongside these projects, Paris has also ventured into new series, including a culinary show titled *Cooking with Paris* on Netflix and *Paris in Love* on Peacock, which offers an intimate look into her family life with husband Carter Reum. They have two young children, London and Phoenix, whom Paris has described as her “whole heart and cutesie crew.”

In a recent interview, Kathy Hilton shared insights on extending the family’s charitable traditions, especially during the festive period. At a QVC’s Holiday House pop-up, she discussed how her grandchildren are becoming involved in philanthropic efforts. “We do several toy drives, and I did a big pajama party, which my daughter Nicky and I do every year,” Kathy elaborated. “We give a percentage of the pajamas to Children’s Hospital.”

She recounted a heartwarming incident where Paris’s children visited during one of their toy drives and expressed confusion over the purpose of the unwrapped toys. Kathy took the opportunity to explain that the toys were meant for less fortunate children, illustrating the importance of charity and kindness.

Kathy and her husband, Rick Hilton, alongside their children—Nicky, Paris, Barron, and Conrad—remain active in supporting numerous charitable initiatives. Their past collaborations have included partnerships with Ronald McDonald House Charities, demonstrating their commitment to giving back to the community.

Kathy expressed the significance of charitable work, noting, “It actually makes everybody feel good to be able to do something. During this time of year, we’re all very fortunate, so it’s just a nice time to share.” With a focus on positivity during challenging times, she emphasised the need to celebrate the good in life.

Although Paris may not be joining her mother on reality television anytime soon, the Hilton family continues to make headlines for both their contributions to entertainment and their unwavering dedication to charitable causes. As they navigate their individual paths, the Hilton legacy remains strong, bolstered by a commitment to family values and social responsibility.
