Paris Hilton with Oran

Paris Hilton helped grant a wish for a seriously ill child yesterday (28.06.12).

The hotel heiress met with six-year-old Oran - who is confined to a wheelchair - as part of her volunteer work for the Starlight Children's Foundation, which grants wishes for sick kids.

Animal-lover Paris spent time chatting with the little lad and introduced him to her pets, and after their meeting, she took to her twitter page to say how much she had enjoyed it.

In a series of tweets, she said: 'Amazing to spend some time with Oran today, a very special 6 year old boy - love helping starlightmagic! Helping Starlightmagic bring smiles to some very special kids like Oran.

'You can too ... Do something great today, help Starlightmagic grant the wishes of brave kids like Oran.'

The blonde beauty then posted a picture of little Oran meeting the animals and wrote: 'All my animals loved Oran today. He is the coolest & smartest 6 year old I've ever met! (sic)'

For nearly 30 years, Starlight Children's Foundation has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for children around the globe with chronic and life-threatening illnesses and life-altering injuries by providing entertainment, education and family activities that help them cope with the pain, fear and isolation of prolonged illness.
