Francesca Gabor Hilton – the only daughter of the 97-year-old star and the late Hilton Hotel founder Conrad Hilton – passed away in Los Angeles on Monday, January 5, 2014.
She was declared dead after suffering an ‘apparent stroke/heart attack’, according to her representative, Edward Lozzi, who has been left ‘shocked’ and saddened by her death.
He said: ‘As Francesca’s publicist and one of her best friends, I am shocked.
‘We were discussing her book she was writing and a possible deal. She had to go to the restroom. She never made it out. I am so sad about my friend …’
According to USA Today, Francesca – Paris Hilton‘s great aunt – was with her fiancé, Michael Natsis and he attempted to give her CPR along with paramedics.
She was later taken to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she was pronounced dead.
Lozzi also revealed that Francesca had been ‘under extreme pressure’ because she had been told by her stepfather, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, that ‘she would no longer be allowed in the house’ to visit her elderly mother, who the rep said is ‘suffering total dementia and cannot speak’.
