Paris Hilton safer in Beverly Hills

Paris Hilton feels much safer in her new home.

The 27-year-old hotel heiress, who recently moved to an exclusive gated community in Beverly Hills, loves the new property because it gives her more privacy.

She wrote on her official blog: "As most of you know, I moved away from my old - and very accessible - house because I was sick and tired of constant invasion of my private life.

"I love my fans but I could not leave for a meeting or walk my dog without a camera pushing inside my front door on to personal property. I feel so much happier and safer in my new home."

Last summer, an "enormous" number of people living in Paris' former West Hollywood neighbourhood reportedly complained about the helicopters, cameramen and paparazzo constantly camped outside her house.

Paris, who is currently dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, also revealed she has extensively refurbished her new house and is delighted with the results.

She added: "I've been renovating it for the past year and totally made it my style. I've seen pictures online that are supposedly the inside of my new home, but they're not.

"The house looks so different and it underwent such a big transformation into my dream home. I couldn't be happier!"
