Paris Hilton handed out bottles of her perfume and cushions with her name across the front as she visited survivors of the 2017 Mexican earthquake on Monday.
The 37-year-old heiress singed gift sets and posed for pictures with some of those whose homes were destroyed in the 7.1 magnitude quake which killed 370 and wounded 6,000 when it struck in September last year.
At one point she even knelt down in order to kiss a pregnant woman’s baby bump, then struck poses and flashed a peace sign as cameras clicked around her

The socialite also struck poses alongside survivors who have been living in temporary housing since theirs were destroyed in the disaster more than a year ago
Hilton arrived in San Gregorio, on the outskirts of Mexico City, as she donated $350,000 to help rebuild the city, which was badly hit in the quake.
Of the 370 who died, 228 came from Mexico City, where more than 40 buildings were toppled by the tremor.
Flanked by security, Hilton – who has an estimated worth of $300million – wore patterned jeans, a dark top and large sunglasses as she struck poses for the waiting photographers.
Paris visited the disaster-struck area the day after launching a new range of shoes in Mexico City.
This is not the first time Paris has visited this area. She made another trip in 2017 when she also handed out branded cushions
The reality TV star also made a donation of $350,000 to help rebuild housing in Mexico City, which was hardest hit by the quake
Paris arrived in San Gregorio in jeans and a shirt – having dressed down following a red carpet event to promote her new line of shoes just the day before
The socialite walked down the red carpet on Sunday night decked out in black lace with diamond-studded earrings and a large, jewel-encrusted necklace.
On Monday, she opted for a more sombre ensemble as she visited the disaster-hit slum.
It is not the first time that Paris has visited the victims of the earthquake. She arrived in San Gregorio just two months after the quake where she handed out more branded pillows and took photographs with the children.
The Peubla earthquake was one of the deadliest and most destructive to hit Mexico in recent years, destroying an estimated 200,000 homes and leaving 4million children without a permanent school place.
Paris’s money will go towards efforts to help rebuild parts of Mexico City, with charities warning that healthcare is still limited and many children do not have schools to attend

In need: The blonde looked deep in thought as she returned to the community following her trip last November
Some families were reduced to living in makeshift tent camps after their homes were levelled, while others sheltered with neighbours.
A year on from the disaster, charity International Community Foundation reports that many people are still without permanent shelter or basic healthcare.
‘The challenge of providing shelter, food, clean drinking water, and proper sanitation continues daily,’ the charity wrote in a February report.
‘Organized hygiene efforts help, but people still require medical care and their access to it has been reduced by the earthquake.
‘A significant number of children have not yet returned to the classroom, after their schools were disrupted by the disaster.
‘The delay in education could have long-term consequences for these children, especially because the nation is already struggling to provide quality education to its youth.
The earthquake caused widespread devastation across Mexico City where a school collapsed
Earthquake: The tremor struck near the Puebla state town of Raboso, about 75 miles southeast of Mexico City, and came on the anniversary of another devastating earthquake in 1985
Heartbreaking: It also came just days after another 8.1-magnitude earthquake which struck Chipas, killed at least 98 people, and hours after nationwide emergency practice drills
‘Efforts are underway to help bring them back to school as soon as possible — and to monitor the wellbeing of the children who are still out of school.
‘This is an ongoing process in need of continued funding and assistance.’
The earthquake also came just days after another 8.1-magnitude earthquake which struck Chipas, killed at least 98 people, and hours after nationwide emergency practice drills.
At the time, the government of Mexico declared a state of disaster in Mexico City, freeing up emergency funds.
President Enrique Pena Nieto said he had ordered all hospitals to open their doors to the injured after the magnitude 7.1 quake.
Return: Paris also delivered aid to the community last year, delivering hundreds of pillows, shoes, clothes, food and toys
Touched: Speaking to the crowd two months after the earthquake last year, she said: ‘I feel that this is my second home, I’ve been coming to Mexico all my life’
Speech: ‘I love the people, I think they are all beautiful, they have great hearts, they are beautiful inside and out, they are very genuine and incredible’, she previously said
Sincere: ‘I’m sorry for what happened on that horrible September 19, day of the earthquake’, Paris added
Emotional: ‘When I heard what happened with the earthquake my heart broke, I was devastated’, she continued
Listening: During her visit, Paris spent time with the families, listening to their stories from the horrifying day
Stuck to her word: ‘I know there are people who are suffering and going through hard times, so every time I return I will do something to give back,’ she previously said
Welcoming: ‘I am here to support these people. They have lost their homes, all of their belongings and family members. everything has been taken away. It’s so important to help’, Paris said
Aid: She added that she hoped to be a voice and raise awareness of the cause to help rebuild the community
