In the wake of several terrorist attacks carried out by Islamist extremist group ISIS, people around the globe have grown understandably paranoid. Although ISIS infamously claims responsibility for attacks it may not have orchestrated, the sheer number of terrorist attacks in recent months constitute a pressing global concern. The fear of terrorist attacks has become so pervasive that even well-protected celebrities are fearing for their lives. Resident Ibiza DJ Paris Hilton believes she could be a future target for ISIS. 

While in Ibiza, Hilton took a breather to talk to the local media about recent terrorist attacks, which is when she expressed concern that she could be a target for the extremist group's future attacks, Uproxx reports. "I’m constantly moving around from one country to another and I’m a famous person who could be a definite target for an attack and that is something that sometimes terrifies me," Hilton said. 

Although Hilton noted that her constant traveling could pose a danger, she won't let the fear mongering get the best of her. "But I’m also a very free person who tries not to be afraid of anything. I just make sure I always watch my back…I always go out alone and without security." ISIS released a hit list of random New Yorkers just a few months ago, but so far the Islamist militant group hasn't specifically targeted any celebrities. 

Hilton went on to cite Donald Trump as a powerful person who could play an influential role in stopping the terrorist attacks, calling him a "good friend" of her dad's and an "extraordinary business man." She did not, however, explicitly endorse Trump, saying she hopes the most qualified person wins the election.
