LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Paris Hilton is facing criticism after sharing a video on TikTok that raised safety concerns regarding her children's car seats.

In the now-deleted footage, Hilton's son Phoenix and daughter London were seen strapped into their car seats facing forward, contrary to standard safety guidelines that recommend rear-facing seats for young children.

Additionally, some fans noted that Hilton appeared to use  both a latch and a belt simultaneously which raised further safety issues.

While some fans attempted to defend Hilton by suggesting that the children were being transported in a van, which might have different safety protocols, others emphasized that car seat safety regulations apply universally.

Following the backlash, Hilton removed the video from her TikTok feed. However, she retained other videos from her Mother's Day celebration, indicating her desire to preserve positive memories from the holiday.

However, amidst the criticism, Hilton has received significant support online. Many users empathized with Hilton, recognizing that she may be navigating the challenges of motherhood for the first time.
