"I was catching up on news last week only to read a story about me walking by some puppies for sale, and demanding that I be given a Yorkie puppy to be an accessory for a photo shoot. These stories have gotten out of control," she wrote on her MySpace blog.

"I wasn't looking for a new pet, I wasn't even at a photo shoot that day, (I was down the street at Benji's DCMA clothing store) and I actually have a Yorkie puppy. I love animals and the cruel things people say are not acceptable. Puppies are not accessories or toys and I love my own pets dearly -- I treat them as if they were my children," Hilton added.

The heiress felt she had to defend herself, so that her fans wouldn't think she was a spoiled celebrity.

"It is sad that someone felt the need to invent a story about me throwing a fit for a dog that would 'go with my outfit.' I have no idea where people come up with these stories and they are spreading to so many news outlets that I just have to speak my mind and clear things up, especially with my fans."
