Tori Spelling has recalled her childhood friendship with Paris Hilton, describing a long-standing bond between their families that began when they were young.
The actress, 52, shared the memories during an episode of her podcast MisSPELLING, on which she reflected on growing up alongside Paris within a close-knit social circle of prominent families.
She explained their parents – including her father, television producer Aaron Spelling, who died aged 83, and Paris’s parents Kathy Hilton and Rick Hilton – were friends, leading to shared holidays and regular family gatherings.
Tori said her younger brother Randy Spelling also knew Paris well and that the pair had dated.
She described spending occasions such as Thanksgiving and trips away with families including the Hiltons and the Davises, forming what she characterised as a lifelong connection.
Paris, who grew up with siblings Nicky Hilton, Barron Hilton and Conrad Hilton, remained part of that extended social group.
Tori said on the podcast: “I grew up with Paris, love her. She’s like a family member. I’ve known her since we were little.”
She added: “We all grew up kind of together in that circle… like our parents were friends.
“I remember Thanksgiving and Palm Springs together, all our families like the Davises, the Hiltons and the Spellings. And she would always say, like, ‘Oh my gosh, I just want Tori to babysit me’.
“I always loved that about her. She always looked up to me, and it’s the only person in my lifetime that has ever done that.
“So anyway, we’ve had a special bond our entire lives. We just get it on a level that some people can’t, you know. We have that bond.”
Tori said she recently reconnected with Paris at a birthday celebration, where she attended with her son Liam and his girlfriend.
She said: “And it’s so nice because Paris is like that. It’s always a family affair.
“It was great. Kathy was there, her mom, Nikki, her sister. It was just like (we) caught up with so many people that we all grew up with.”
