Hotel heiress Paris Hilton got a shocking wake-up call when a man armed with two knives tried to break into her Hollywood mansion.
The socialite was asleep and was awakened by the noise of the intruder banging on her window.
Los Angeles Police Department rushed to the scene and arrested the man, who they later identified as Nathan Lee Parada.
He was subsequently booked on one count of felony burglary and is currently being held on US$ 50,000 bail, reported celebrity website TMZ online.
Hilton tweeted a picture of the police at her home with Parada in handcuffs, along with the message, "So scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes. Cops are here arresting him."
This isn't the first time Hilton has had a terrifying incident involving a knife.
The 29-year-old was forced to up her security after a stalker pretending to be her fiance turned up at her father's office carrying a knife.
Hilton's representative released a statement saying,
"Paris is naturally shaken by the events but is unharmed and well. She is very thankful to her security team and the police for their swift and diligent response."
