Paris Hilton reveals she voted for 'family friend' Donald Trump

Paris Hilton has revealed that she voted for Donald Trump in the US presidential election.

Ahead of the polls, the socialite remained tight-lipped when questioned about her political allegiances, but has since confirmed her support for the Republican who is a long-time family friend.

During an Australian TV interview this week on Network Ten's The Project, the 35-year-old was asked if she voted for Trump.

"I've known him since I was a little girl, so yes," she replied. "I've known him my entire life and he's always been incredibly supportive of me," she added.

Hilton, who is a friend of Trump's daughter Ivanka, first met the billionaire property tycoon when she was 12-years-old.

Speaking about the heiress, the President-elect described her as "beautiful".

While high-profile Hollywood stars such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Madonna, Cher, Jennifer Lopez, Ellen DeGeneres, Miley Cyrus and Bryan Cranston had pledged their support for Hillary Clinton, Hilton was one of a handful of celebrities who backed Trump for president.

The Simple Life star is currently in Australia for a DJ tour, alongside promoting her new fragrance, Gold Rush according to Mail Online.
