Paris Hilton has revealed that she is "devastated" by the burglary of $2 million (£1.3 million) worth of jewellery from her L.A. home.

The heiress was attending friend Christina Aguilera's birthday party when the thief broke into her Sherman Oaks home and took off with the jewels.

"I am devastated. I cannot believe someone broke into my home," she told Life & Style Weekly. "They took items that had such sentimental value that no-one will ever be able to replace. I'm just so thankful that I wasn't there when it happened."

However, an insider told the publication that security tapes at Hilton's home had caught the intruder on camera.

"Paris has surveillance cameras set up in every room. The thief was wearing a black hoody and knew exactly where to go, like he's been there before," revealed the source.

"Paris has upped her security team to three 24-hour bodyguards and she has someone on her property at all times. Detectives are doing a huge investigation."
