Paris Hilton reportedly cried when animal authorities took away her pet monkey. Paris is said to have been devastated after Los Angeles officials ordered her to hand over the primate - named Baby Luv - because it’s classified as an illegal pet.

Paris Hilton, who bought the monkey during a trip to Las Vegas last summer, allegedly refused to part with her hairy friend so authorities went to her home to confiscate the animal.

Apparently, Paris Hilton had no idea she was breaking the law when she smuggled him into the country.

This is the same monkey that bit Paris in the face when she was shopping in an Agent Provocateur boutique.

“Paris adores animals but she’s too impulsive and often buys exotic pets without understanding how to care for them or whether they can legally be kept as pets,” an insider told to Daily Star (UK) newspaper.

“She recently fell in love with a baby kangaroo while filming in Queensland and asked for it to be boxed up and shipped back home.
