Eric Kripke said that the socialite's cameo on the programme is not just a stunt.
"I don't think we're gassing up the motorcycle to jump the shark just yet," he told Entertainment Weekly. "It's a fun, irreverent episode about modern celebrity. [Fans] should withhold judgement until they see it."
Kripke also admitted that he was surprised when Hilton agreed to the role.
"We never expected in a million years that she would do it, but I spoke to her and she got the joke immediately and signed on quickly," he said. "I give her a lot of credit for being a hell of a good sport.
"The fact that she was game to play the part speaks volumes about her sense of humour."
The episode of Supernatural featuring Hilton will be broadcast on October 8 on The CW.
