(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Paris Hilton was so incensed by a question asked of her during an interview that she got up and walked away.

The 30-year-old heiress was being interviewed on Good Morning America when reporter Dan Harris asked Paris if her time in the limelight is over.

He suggested that maybe she was being overshadowed by people like her former friend, Kim Kardashian.

Obviously troubled by the question, Paris looked over to her publicist, got up from her chair and then walked over to speak to her which led to a "heated conversation".

"The celebutante marketplace has become rather crowded since Paris Hilton burst onto the scene in the late 1990s," Dan said in his piece.

But it was when he asked Paris directly about Kim that it was clear he had hit a sore point with the socialite.

"Do you worry at times that the people who have followed in your footsteps, like Kim Kardashian are overshadowing you?" Dan asked.

"No, not at all," Paris said looking upset, then adding that she was also not worried about her latest reality show, The World According To Paris, being met with disappointing ratings.

"Do you ever wonder... about your moment having passed?" Dan pushed further.

That was when Paris got up and had "a long, heated conversation" with her publicist before resuming taping and showing the journalist around her multi-million dollar Los Angeles home. (C) Cover Media
