Paris Hilton wants to marry a man just like her father.

The hotel heiress, whose parents Richard and Kathy wed in 1979, is so close to her dad she hopes to spend her life with a man who has similar characteristics.

She said: “They just have an incredible marriage. My dad is amazing. I hope that I can have a husband like my dad."

Paris, who is currently dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, also revealed she is in constant contact with her mother when they are apart.

She explained: "My mom is like my best friend. We've always been really close. We talk on the phone like 10 times a day. I still feel like a little girl with my mom.”

Although Paris, 27, is smitten with Benji, she insists she is in no rush to settle down.

She added to US TV show ‘Extra’: "Well, we have been together for eight-and-a-half months. But it's a rumour about us getting engaged. We're just very in love and happy.

"I would love to have kids... not right now, I'm way to busy right now. I think that's what completes your life - having a family."
