Hilton's dogs 'killed by coyotes'

Paris Hilton has been left "devastated" after two of her dogs were allegedly killed by coyotes.

According to a report on gossip website X17 Online, two of Hilton's 17 dogs were caught by coyotes roaming outside her Hollywood mansion.

A source said: "Paris was really upset about it. Some people think she's eccentric having so many pets, but she just really, really loves animals and it was devastating for her."

However, a representative for the socialite told People that all her pets "were playing and looked as healthy and happy as can be".

"Paris even had a doggie mansion built for them and it is very secure," the rep added.
