Paris researching Irish roots

American hotel heiress Paris Hilton will travel to Ireland in a bid to find out if she is a distant relative of British pop star Lily Allen.

The 26-year-old will attend the Flatlake Literary Festival in Co. Monaghan later this month to attend an event organised by Allen’s uncle Kevin and to search her family tree.

Keith Allen said: “We believe Paris wants to come to the festival, which is at my in-laws’ place at Hilton Park, to check out her Irish ancestry. They may be related.”

Paris Hilton is known as a model, actress, businesswoman and recording artist.

She is an heiress to a share of both the Hilton Hotel fortune and the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton.

The socialite rose to fame around 2003 in the reality series The Simple Life.

She has also appeared in several minor film roles including the 2005 horror film House Of Wax and last year she released her debut self-titled album Paris.

A tabloid favourite, she was jailed for 24 days earlier this year in Los Angeles for violating probation on a driving ban.
