Paris Hilton snared Robert Pattinson at a party.

The blonde hotel heiress stunned guests at a lavish Oscars bash by dragging the 'Twilight' star outside for some time alone after asking her younger sister Nicky to help track him down.

Friends of the 28-year-old socialite - including her ex-boyfriend Benji Madden and sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - were left stunned by her aggressive flirting with the handsome British actor.

After scanning Patrick Whitesell's Hollywood party for her crush, Paris and Robert were spotted "giggling and in deep conversation" for an hour before she reportedly led him into the garden away from the gaze of onlookers.

Paris recently admitted she fell for the 22-year-old hunk after she watched his latest movie, in which he plays a vampire.

She said: "I saw 'Twilight' and I have to say that I think Robert is a beautiful man and an amazing actor. He's fabulous!"

The film caused a sensation among teenage girls last year but Paris admits it took her a while to appreciate the movie.

She added: "Now I understand all the hype. I just didn't get it before, but now it all makes sense. I really enjoyed the movie and loved watching Robert in it."
