LONDON - Socialite heiress Paris Hilton faced yet another burglary scare Friday, when Los Angeles police unexpectedly visited her home upon finding its high-security entrance gate suspiciously open.

Hilton was devastated when thieves targeted her mansion and got away with an estimated $2 million worth of gems last year.

Authorities noticed Hilton’s front gate was left ajar while driving through the neighbourhood. Police reportedly proceeded inside the home and questioned a person whose identity has not been revealed to ensure there was no foul play, reported contactmusic.com.

It was not known if Hilton was home at the time of the questioning.
