Kathy Hilton, 66, is actively teaching her grandchildren — including Paris Hilton’s 2-year-olds Phoenix and London — about family holiday charity traditions, revealing that even at age 2, the kids are still learning the importance of giving back.
Family Legacy in Action: Kathy Hilton Teaches Grandchildren About Holiday Charity
Kathy Hilton, 66, is making sure the Hilton family’s holiday tradition of charitable giving continues with the next generation — even if it means patiently explaining to 2-year-olds why their toys aren’t for them.
Speaking to PEOPLE at QVC’s Holiday House pop-up in New York City, Kathy revealed she’s been actively teaching her grandchildren — including Paris Hilton’s children Phoenix and London — about the importance of giving back during the holidays.
“It’s a tradition, and they’re also learning too,” Kathy said. “We do several toy drives, and I did a big pajama party, which my daughter Nicky and I do every year. And we give a percentage of the pajamas to Children’s Hospital.”
However, Kathy admitted that teaching the newest members of the family can be a challenge. She recalled a moment when Phoenix and London, both 2, wandered into a toy drive setup and asked if the toys were for them.
“So I explained to them,” she continued. “I don’t think they understood, but [I said], ‘No, they’re not for you. These are for other children who are in the hospital or not as fortunate.’ ”
Despite their young age, Kathy noted that her grandchildren are “very well-behaved” and “didn’t touch” the toys after she explained their purpose. Still, she emphasized that the “teaching” moment was vital — because one day, they will be the ones leading the charge.
“And then we go down — once they get a little older, we take them down with us, and we visit with the homeless,” Kathy said. “It’s really heartwarming.”
She described the holiday charity events as a family affair — where the entire Hilton clan, including her husband Rick, participates in toy drives, pajama parties, and visits to shelters.
From Pajamas to Purpose: A Holiday Tradition Rooted in Giving
For Kathy and her family, the holidays are more than just shopping and decorations — they’re a time to give back to the community. Last year, Kathy and DIRECTV partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities to donate toys to families facing medical hardships.
“It actually makes everybody feel good to be able to do something. During this time of year, we’re all very fortunate,” Kathy said. “So it’s just a nice time to share, especially with the world, with everything going on. We have to celebrate the good times and make the best of every day.”
Her efforts aren’t limited to one charity. Kathy, Rick, and their children — Nicky, Paris, Barron, and Conrad — regularly participate in multiple initiatives, including toy drives, pajama parties, and visits to shelters. The family even sets up “elves” to help children shop for parents and vice versa — a creative way to instill the spirit of generosity.
Why This Matters: The Hilton Family’s Holiday Legacy
While many celebrities focus on their own holiday traditions, the Hiltons are building a legacy of community service that spans generations. Kathy’s commitment to teaching her grandchildren — including Paris’s children — underscores how deeply this tradition runs.
It’s not just about the toys or the pajamas — it’s about instilling values. Kathy’s approach is both gentle and persistent, recognizing that even at 2, children are learning through experience. Her patience and consistency ensure that the next generation will carry on the family’s charitable spirit.
For fans, this moment is a reminder of the Hiltons’ enduring influence — not just as celebrities, but as role models for generosity and family unity.
What’s Next for the Hilton Family? Fans Hope for More
As Paris Hilton’s children grow older, fans are eager to see them take on more active roles in the family’s charitable efforts. Kathy’s words suggest that the tradition will continue — and perhaps even expand — as the kids mature.
With Paris’s children already showing curiosity and politeness, the stage is set for them to become the next generation of Hilton philanthropists. Whether it’s hosting toy drives, visiting shelters, or launching their own initiatives, the future looks bright for the family’s charitable legacy.
For now, Kathy’s message is clear: the holidays are about more than gifts — they’re about giving back. And that’s a lesson her grandchildren are learning, one toy at a time.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Hilton family’s holiday traditions — and how they’re shaping the next generation of philanthropists.
