Critics accused the media personality of taking centre stage over her daughter by dressing as Princess Belle while her daughter London dressed as Chip the teacup.
Hilton clarified on Instagram that London explicitly chose to dress as Chip because it is her favourite character in the film.
Her husband Carter Reum dressed as the Beast and their son Phoenix was dressed as Lumière in the elaborate family portrait.
Hilton shared a video from a fan defending her, emphasising that she was creating magical memories for her children.
