Paris Hilton fans have spoken out after the star recently revealed her baby's first word.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (October 18), the 42-year-old opened up about what it's like being a mom to her nine-month-old son, Phoenix.

"It’s his first time in New York," she told the host. "He’s an amazing traveler, but this is his first time experiencing jet lag. So he’s been up 'til midnight, 1AM."

She also revealed her son's first word, which - we must admit - is pretty iconic.

"Is this true? His first word was 'mama?'", Fallon asked Hilton.

"No," she responded. "It was 'yaaas.'"

The host laughed as did the audience before replying: "It was not. There’s no way. He said 'yaaas?'"

Hilton re-confirmed the news before adding: "Wonder where he got that from..."

After the clip was aired, the former reality TV star's fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their opinions on the announcement.

"PARIS HILTON SAYING HER BABYS FIRST WORD WAS YAS IM DONE," wrote one user while another added: "Paris Hilton said in an interview that her baby's first word was 'yaaas' and... I believe her."

The clip was later shared to TikTok by the official account for The Tonight Show and also elicited similar responses.

"I figured it would be 'sliving' but yaaaas is a good second," wrote one user.

Another branded her as an "icon" while a third said: "Paris becoming a mom is my favorite thing to happen ever!!!!"

Watch the clip below:

On January 25, the 42-year-old socialite announced that she had welcomed her first child with her husband Carter Reum.

Posting across all her social media platforms, the star told her millions of followers at the time that she and her husband had extended their little family, welcoming a baby boy via surrogate.

Alongside a photograph of the newborn's fingers wrapped around her own, Hilton wrote: "You are already loved beyond words," with a blue heart.

Speaking to PEOPLE at the time, Hilton described this new experience as her "dream."

"It's always been my dream to be a mother and I'm so happy that Carter and I found each other," she said. "We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy."

Prior to the news, she also told the outlet that she and Reum had initially started an IVF treatment plan at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We started going and doing it like a few months in because the world was shut down," she explained. "We knew we wanted to start a family, and I was like, 'This is perfect timing. Usually, I'm on a plane 250 days out of the year, and let's just get all of the eggs stocked and ready,' and we have tons of them just waiting."

And just a few years later, the pair are finally living their dreams, welcoming their son, Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, to the world.

In an interview with Us Weekly, she also emphasized how her priorities have changed since becoming a mom.

"I love what I do so much, but my baby is my top priority. All of my priorities have shifted," she told the outlet. "I am saying no to so many things because I want to be able to spend as much time with [my son] as possible. He’s just my little angel."

She continued: "Taking Phoenix to the park and just hanging out with him at the house, the puppies and my husband. I love sitting with them and playing games and reading books."

She also shared some advice her sister gave to her saying: "My sister [Nicky Hilton Rothschild] always says you don’t want to miss those moments. All my free time, I’m doing that. And then also my music and my art. I love to paint and cook and just be with my husband and my baby boy."

We can't wait to hear more of the little one's lines - let's hope he turns out just as iconic as his mom.
