Paris Hilton surprised fan Bibiana Gonzalez with a brand new car after her vehicle caught fire while she was driving on a highway in Dallas, Texas, earlier this month.

Gonzalez first documented the car mishap in a TikTok video. “You wanna know what’s hot? My car just caught on fire,” she said in the seconds-long clip.

Then highlighting that the only item that made it through the blaze was her Hilton-themed mug, Gonzalez, who works full-time supporting the special needs community while attending college full-time, continued, “Can you please buy me a new car?”

A week later, Gonzalez got the surprise of a lifetime when Hilton gifted her a new vehicle — and was there to deliver it in person.

In one TikTok video from the moment, Gonzalez called Hilton her “fairy Godmother.” In another, Gonzalez could be seen being comforted by the “Stars Are Blind” singer as her new car was unveiled.

“Love you so much sis! 🥰 Loved meeting you and so happy I could surprise you like this🥹🫶,” Hilton wrote in a comment to Gonzalez.

Hilton was able to make the surprise moment a reality thanks to an assist from her nonprofit, 11:11 Media Impact, and Carvana, an e-commerce platform for buying and selling used cars.

“When we learned about Bibiana’s story from Paris and her team, we were thrilled to join forces and help,” Ryan Keeton, Carvana’s Chief Brand Officer, said in a statement shared with PEOPLE.

“At Carvana, we don’t just sell cars; we believe in treating people better. Partnering with Paris, whose global reach and passion for doing good align perfectly with our values, gave us the chance to turn a tough situation around and do what we love — deliver happiness,” he added.

Hilton’s charitable act is just the latest for her in 2025 alone. Earlier this year, the star launched an emergency fund and donated $100,000 to victims of the Los Angeles wildfires, and also volunteered at an animal shelter to help cats and dogs that were affected by the natural disaster.
