Paris Hilton says her family are very proud of her.

The 26-year-old socialite - who recently completed a prison sentence for driving with a suspended licence - boasts she has already built up an impressive entertainment and fashion empire and her parents couldn't be prouder.

She told Entertainment Tonight: "I have been working very hard. I'm 26-years-old now and started Paris Hilton Entertainment and my clothing line.

"My grandpa, my dad, my mom, everyone is so proud of me, so it feels really good to accomplish so much so young and to be an entrepreneur at 26."

Paris - who famously starred in a homemade sex video leaked on the internet - says designing clothes was her childhood dream and she has many "exciting" plans for her line.

She said: "It's exciting - this has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl - I'm fashion designing. I do jeans, I do sportswear, we're going to do shoes, purses and I also have my own doggie line coming out."

The 'Simple Life' star also revealed she is working on a new fragrance and a book.

Paris - who was dropped by Warner Bros. following poor sales of her self-titled album released last summer - is also returning to the recording studio to work on her second album.
