It’s hard to remember a time whenKim Kardashianwasn’t a rich and famous reality star.

She did, however, do some work for Hilton.

“That was my job.

But people will say ‘assistant.’

They always have it wrong.”

Kardashian may not have been Hilton’s assistant, per se, but theyarestill friends.

“I love Kim,' Hilton toldThe Evening Standard.

“Basically we’ve been friends since we were born.

I’m so proud of her, and everything she’s achieved.

Her family is beautiful…

I’m really happy for her.”
