"House of Wax" star Paris Hilton says she is thrilled with her life, but wishes the paparazzi that camp outside her house would take a hike.

"I'm so grateful to God that I've been blessed with all of this and I get to do what I love," the 24-year-old, celebrity heiress recently told reporters in Los Angeles. "I love my music, my acting. I get to do everything I love. I can't wait for the next day. I'm excited to wake up every morning and just live my life."

Emphasizing she has no problem walking the red carpet at events or showing up for photo ops to promote her movie or her reality TV show, "The Simple Life," or her CD, perfume or book, Hilton admitted there are times when she wishes she could forget she was famous and enjoy a little privacy away from the prying eyes of shutterbugs.

"Every time I walk out of my house, there's 50 photographers," she lamented. "It's really scary. They're just parked on the street outside and they stay outside the house. They're brutal."
