Speaking on US TV show 'The Sunday Project, Paris told host Lisa Wilkinson: "I can't imagine being 12, 13-years-old and seeing these beauty standards that are not real, and using the filters all the time.

Hilton, who has 18 million followers on Instagram, also spoke about her ditzy blonde persona which she has insisted is just a character she has been putting on since starring in reality TV show 'The Simple Life' back in 2003. Paris Hilton’s Cooking Show Cancelled by Netflix After the First Season.
