Paris Hilton responds after fans express concern over the blankets in her son Phoenix’s crib
Paris Hilton has shared her response after fans expressed concern over the blankets in her son Phoenix’s crib.
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.
Since then, Paris has responded to an avalanche of comments from people online worried about just how many blankets were in the almost one-year-old's crib.

Earlier this week (9 January), Paris shared a sweet moment between herself, Phoenix, who celebrates his first birthday later this month, and her eight-week-old daughter, London, who was born back in November, to her millions of followers on Instagram and TikTok.
In the post, the two siblings were enjoying a nap next to each other in the same room with Paris looking at London, saying: "Oh, the princess."
Phoenix can be seen sleeping as snug as a bug in his crib, bundled up in a fuzzy white blanket.
"Sleepy. So cute. Oh. This little face," the mum-of-two adds.
While many found the clip absolutely adorable, some TikTok users took major issues with Phoenix's crib.
One penned: "Paris I love this so much! Be sure to check on safe sleep practices for your sweet little babies."
Instead of responding with anger, The Simple Life star thanked her viewers for their parenting advice.
She replied: "Thank you for letting me know," accompanied with a red heart emoji.
And this isn't the first time fans have given Paris parenting tips as, back in October, she shared a series of snaps of Phoenix, who was nine months old at the time, to Instagram and was shockingly been met with an avalanche of trolls in the comment section making cruel comments about the shape of the little tot's head shape.
While many were thrilled to see little Phoenix, some Instagram users took it upon themselves to make fun of the baby's head shape and offer Paris unsolicited medical advice.
Many fans defended the mum before Paris herself commented on the situation.
She uploaded a text post which began: "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."
