Paris Hilton has shared a sweet tribute to her baby Phoenix as she celebrates his very first birthday.
The 42-year-old American media personality and her hubby, entrepreneur Carter Reum, welcomed the little bub back in January of last year via surrogate and he has now finally turned one.

She captioned the birthday photo dump: "One year ago, a beautiful angel baby entered our lives, bringing so much love and happiness.
"My precious little one, you are more than a dream come true. You make my life complete.
"Every day with you is a priceless gift, and I’m endlessly grateful to be your mommy."
The mum-of-two continued: "Celebrating your first of many birthdays, Baby P – here’s to a lifetime of laughter, love, and wonderful adventures with our cutesie crew! Happy 1st Birthday!"
Fans couldn't wait to share their birthday messages for the little tot with one Instagram user writing: "Ughhhhh he’s sooooo cute! Happy birthday lil man!"
"Happy birthday to the sweetest happiest baby angel!!! Can’t believe he’s already one!" gushed a second.
A third chimed in: "Happy birthday to the beautiful Phoenix, the boy with the most beautiful smile. May your life always be full of light and love!"
"Happy 1st Birthday P!!! You are going to do so many great things. You’re the the luckiest little boy who has so many people who love him!!" wrote another.
Paris previously opened up about what it was like being a mother under the spotlight after being met with an avalanche of trolls making cruel comments about the shape of Phoenix's head shape.
She wrote on Instagram: "Living life in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else's for that matter, is unacceptable."
Paris went on to say the whole situation 'hurts her heart more deeply than words can describe'.
"I've worked hard to cultivate an environment that is all about love, respect, and acceptance, and I expect the same in return," she continued.
Opening up about the difficulty of being in the public eye, Paris explained to her followers: "If I don't post my baby, people assume I'm not a great mother and if I do post him, there are some people who are cruel and hateful."
She added that she was a 'proud working mom' and that little Phoenix is 'perfectly healthy, adorable and angelic'.
"I've dreamt of being a mum for as long as I can remember," she revealed. "Phoenix is my world and has been the biggest blessing of my life."
Continuing the heartfelt tribute to her son, Paris lovingly gushed: "Every day with him is a reminder of what truly matters.
"It's hard to fathom that there are people in the world who would target such innocence."
The social media star concluded the Instagram statement by saying: "I hope that people can treat one another with more kindness and empathy."
