Paris’ sister Nicky Hilton, 40, previously came to her nephew’s defense after vicious comments about his appearance.

“I think that if you mistreat a child, then you have serious problems and really [have to] Look at yourself,” Nicky told Page Six Glamour magazine’s Women of the Year event on Nov. 7 “It’s so crazy,” she added.

Paris also brushed off negative comments about the size of her son’s head last month, saying her “angel is perfectly healthy” and that he “just has a big brain.”

“Living in the spotlight, comments are inevitable, but targeting my child, or anyone else, is unacceptable,” she added in a post she shared on her Instagram story.
