Paris Hilton is pushing back on growing concern surrounding Britney Spears, assuring fans that the pop star is in a good place despite recent headlines questioning her behavior. 

Speaking to the Daily Mail at the WWD Style Awards in Santa Monica on Friday, Hilton addressed the chatter directly and offered a calm, confident update about her longtime friend.

“She’s doing good,” Hilton said of the Gimme More singer. She then repeated the sentiment, adding, “She’s doing really good.”

The two have remained close over the years, and Hilton recently spent time with Spears along with her children, son Phoenix and daughter London.

Spears later shared a heartfelt Instagram post reflecting on the visit, describing a tender moment with Hilton’s son. 

“My relationship with little Phoenix was quite intense he actually let me hold him forever and he held my chest and looked up to me and his stunning mamma was miraculously so beautiful in letting me hold him for so long,” Spears wrote. 

She also praised Hilton’s role as a parent, adding, “I’m so proud of Paris for being such a strong, beautiful mother!!!!!!!” 

Spears ended the message by thanking Hilton for celebrating her birthday with her and writing, “You already know I love you sis!!!!”

Hilton’s reassurance comes after reports suggested Spears had distanced herself from members of her family. 

In November 2025, a family insider told the Daily Mail that the singer had stopped responding to messages. 

“She isn’t returning texts, won’t pick up calls, and won’t even read DMs,” the source claimed. 

Another family source described her behavior as “disturbing” and said it was raising “a lot of red flags right now,” leaving relatives unsure how to move forward.

Speculation continued in December when Spears was photographed returning from a Cabo trip carrying a baby carrier and wearing a mystery ring. 

Later that month, she spent Christmas with her younger son, Jayden, 19, while her older son, Sean Preston, 20, stayed with her sister Jamie Lynn Spears.

Spears appeared to address family tensions in a pointed Christmas Instagram post, writing, “Merry late Christmas to my beautiful family who have never disrespected me, harmed me, ever done anything completely unacceptable or caused unbelievable trauma, the kind you can’t fix …”

Despite the mixed signals playing out publicly, Hilton’s words offer a steady counterpoint. 

As someone who has known Spears for decades, her message is clear, from her perspective, there is no reason for alarm, and Britney Spears is doing just fine.

Minister of State for Finance Bilal Azhar Kayani said on Sunday that passengers appreciated the electric bus service launched by the Punjab government, ensuring safe, affordable and convenient transport facility.

While visiting his Jhelum constituency, the state minister travelled on the electric bus to inspect the public transport service that was inaugurated in Jhelum two weeks ago.

The Punjab government launched the electric bus service in Jhelum last month with a fleet of 15 vehicles, aiming to provide residents with modern, environmentally friendly transport facilities in line with services available in other parts of the province.

He said in an X post that he spoke to passengers at the bus stop and during the journey to get their feedback.

“All passengers appreciated the service launched by CM Punjab, which has ensured safe, affordable and convenient transport for the citizens. I was delighted to see a number of women and elderly benefitting from the service.”

Kayani added that he also visited the Cath Lab in District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Jhelum, inaugurated last Monday for the provision of cardiac treatment, to review the facility and check progress.

“Nine angiographies and three angioplasties have been successfully done so far, all free of cost for the patients.”

“This is the first Cath Lab in any DHQ Hospital in Punjab. Citizens of Jhelum no longer have to travel to Islamabad or Lahore for affordable and quality cardiac care,” he added.

Kayani also met local party colleagues to discuss local issues, and offered fateha and condolences to constituents whose loved ones have recently passed away.
