This woman’s car burned down—but her Paris Hilton thermos survived. So Paris surprised her with a new car

Bibiana Gonzalez’s Paris Hilton #sliving thermos was one of the only things that survived a car fire that totaled her vehicle on May 3. Gonzalez asked the celebrity heiress to buy her a new car via TikTok, in a 9-second video that has over 40 million views. Days later, Hilton herself pulled up in a truck with Gonzalez’s brand-new car in tow.

Gonzalez's viral story resonated with TikTok, and the internet was delighted that Hilton came through. Hilton's recap video from May 10 has 7 million views, 1.2 million likes, and nearly 30,000 comments.

People commented that they are impressed with Hilton's generosity and her authenticity. Her fans on TikTok discussed how celebrities' charitable efforts often fail, but they agreed that Hilton got it right with her gift to Gonzalez.

Hilton's response is true generosity

"You know what's hot?" asked @kayladye59, "When rich queens help hard-working queens. Always been and always will be a Paris Hilton girl."

"Not only did she buy her a car, she took time out of her life. That's hot," commented @justinamarie85.

"This is why we love Paris. Her heart is so big," @pretyypixie22 commented, and told Hilton, "You are a bright light."

TikTokers commented that more celebrities should treat their fans the way Paris does

Several commenters pointed out that Hilton's gift to Gonzalez was realistic. It's a vehicle that won't require expensive maintenance or unaffordable insurance premiums.

"An affordable normal car. I love when celebs are realistic when they decide to be charitable," noted @yourfavouritetrini.

Others expressed that Hilton's behavior is a model of what we should see more of from the ultra fortunate.

"This is what rich people are supposed to do. Such a small thing for Paris that changes everything for Bibiana," said @_.kaara._.

"I feel like a lot of celebrities do stuff like this to make themselves look good, but honestly this feels so genuine. She really wanted to do this from the heart and you can tell," said @queen_capricorn_energy.
