Paris Hilton has reportedly hired her own 'bling-ring' security squad to protect her $2 million engagement ring.

The Leftovers actor Chris Zylka proposed to the hotel heiress and DJ on a snowy mountaintop during a ski trip to Aspen, Colorado, selecting a gigantic 20-carat diamond band for the Hilton heiress.

According to editors at TMZ, Paris has now upgraded her personal security to include a 24/7 detail specifically to shadow her and the ring. Her bling-ring squad attempt to go incognito by dressing in "street clothes" while accompanying Paris.

Paris' decision comes in the wake of a spate of burglaries targeting celebrity homes in Los Angeles including; Nicki Minaj, Kendall Jenner, A$AP Rocky, and the Kim Kardashian robbery in Paris, France, which saw Paris' former pal violently robbed of $10 million worth of gems.

The reality star turned DJ was also famously targeted by The Bling Ring gang - a group of celebrity-obsessed teenagers and young adults from California - who raided her mansion six times in 2009, relieving her of $1.6 million in jewelry, clothes, and other valuables.

"Now we have lasers and pressure-pad alarms and full-time guards," Paris told the Sunday Times Style magazine in 2013 of her updated security system.

Aside from its obvious monetary value, Paris' ring also holds a lot of sentimental weight for the star, the ring's designer revealed.

"Paris, at one point in time, told Chris she really loved her mother's pear-shaped diamond, and when Chris came to me that was his request," jewelry designer and diamond expert Michael Greene explained to People. "The pear-shape really jumped out for him and ultimately for her. He did some fishing, but in the end it was all him.

"He's a smart guy, and hangs out a lot with the family, and I think he realized how much she liked her mum's ring," he added.
