Paris Hilton woke up to a shock on Tuesday morning. According to the star’s Twitter, a man allegedly attempted to break into the reality star’s Los Angeles area home.
“So Scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes. Cops are here arresting,” Paris Tweeted on Tuesday morning.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Access Hollywood that officers responded to a 911 call early Tuesday morning and arrived at Hilton’s home at 6:30 AM.
Police said they arrested an unidentified male in his 40’s and are investigating a possible break in.
There were no injuries during the incident.
A rep for Hilton told Access, “I can confirm that in the early hours of this morning an armed man with two kitchen knives attempted to break in to Paris Hilton’s home when she was sleeping. The security cameras and alarm system were alerted and the police immediately came to the house and arrested the intruder who was attempting to break a window when they arrived. Paris is naturally shaken by the events but is unharmed and well. She is very thankful to her security team and the police for their swift and diligent response.”
According to a LAPD booking sheet released Tuesday afternoon, the man found at Hilton’s house, Nathan Parada, has been charged with felony burglary. He is currently being held on $50,000 bail.
This isn’t the first time Paris’ home has been broken into. In August 2004, a home she was sharing with sister Nicky Hilton was burglarized and also again in December 2008.
