The socialite was spotted on Monday taking her son for a quick stop at the Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles, where she revealed that he had gained clarity on his future ambition.
According to Hilton, her firstborn, Reum, idolizes firefighters and emergency responders and wants to become one himself.
Well, the apple does not really fall far from the tree. Hilton and her family have shown enviable dedication to cleaning up after the fire victims and contributing financially to the cause.
The star was one of the first set of celebrities to lose their homes shortly after the fires began and spread into highbrow neighborhoods in L.A., including Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
Hilton shared that she took in a foster pet, identified as Zuzu, whose owners surrendered him after they lost everything in the fire. She said, "We've just all fallen in love with him. So, we're going to adopt him."
She also encouraged anyone interested to join the program and adopt or foster a pet through the Humane Society in Pasadena or another local shelter, as urgent help is needed.
Hilton ended the chat with TMZ by sending love and well wishes to Spencer Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, who lost their home to the fire. She offered to collaborate with them on any project that may help them bounce back on their feet.

But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces," the business mogul began.
She described her house as a place where she and her family "dreamed, laughed, and created the most beautiful memories as a family."
Hilton, who shares son and daughter London Marilyn with husband Carter Reum, recalled that the home was where her son's "little hands made art" that she will cherish forever.
