Tori Spelling shares heartwarming memories growing up with Paris Hilton

Tori Spelling opened up about her longtime friendship with Paris Hilton, sharing stories from their childhood and recent reunion.

On the March 25 episode of her podcast MisSPELLING, the 52-year-old actress reflected on growing up alongside the Hilton family. 

“I grew up with Paris, love her. She's like a family member,” Spelling said. “I've known her since we were little. We all grew up kind of together in that circle… like our parents were friends.”

Spelling, who starred in Beverly Hills, 90210, recalled the close ties between their families. 

“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 added.

The actress described the bond she and Hilton share as unique. “She always looked up to me, and it's the only person in my lifetime that has ever done that. We've had a special bond our entire lives. We just get it on a level that some people can't.”

Tori and her younger brother Randy were raised in Holmby Hills, California, by theater star Candy Spelling and late TV producer Aaron Spelling. 

The family later moved into the iconic Spelling Manor, a 56,500-square-foot estate. Paris Hilton, 45, grew up with her siblings Nicky, Barron, and Conrad Hilton under the guidance of Kathy and Rick Hilton, grandchildren of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton.

Spelling also shared that she recently reconnected with Hilton at her birthday celebration, where she brought her son Liam, 19, and his girlfriend. 

“It was great. Kathy was there, her mom, Nicky, her sister. It was just like we caught up with so many people that we all grew up with,” Spelling said.
