The recent attempted break-in at Paris Hilton's Los Angeles home shook up the celebutante. Now TMZ reveals that if it wasn't for her pistol-packing boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub owner Cy Waits, Hilton could have been more of a victim. TMZ reports Hilton and Waits heard loud noises downstairs at her home early Tuesday morning, so Waits decided to check out the situation himself, bringing his gun with him. He spotted the alleged intruder, Nathan Parada, looking through a window while holding two knives. Waits went outside with his weapon drawn and reportedly ordered Parada to drop the knives. He kept his gun on the suspect until police arrived. Parada reportedly found Hilton's house by looking at a Star Map. Now, the heiress is beefing up security with new cameras and infrared technology to help detect people on her property. If that doesn't help, two new additional bodyguards will. TMZ also reports that Hilton told friends, "Thank God Cy was there, he saved my life."
