Paris Hilton is mourning the loss of her grandfather Barron Hilton.

During an appearance on "The Talk" on Wednesday, the 38-year-old socialite spoke about the hotelier's death. Barron -- a businessman, philanthropist, and former president and CEO of Hilton Hotels Corporation -- died on Sept. 19 at 91, as confirmed by a statement made by the Hilton family's foundation.

"I'm obviously heartbroken," Paris told the talk show's co-hosts. "We were so close. But I'm grateful that I got to see him and say goodbye to him, and just say what an impact he had on my life. He's always been my hero and my mentor, and such a legend."

She went on to say he helped shape her as the business mogul she's become.

"I don't think I would be the businesswoman I am today if I didn't learn that from him, and the importance of doing something on my own," Paris said. "So I am going to continue living on with his legacy. And I know he's up in heaven with my grandmother, and I just love him so much."

Paris honored Barron on social media last week, writing: “I am deeply saddened by the loss of my grandfather Barron Hilton. He was a Legend, a visionary, brilliant, handsome, kind and lived a life full of accomplishment and adventure.”

“Ever since I was a little girl I have looked up to him as a businessman,” she continued. “I feel so grateful to have had such an incredible mentor. I always wanted to make him proud. The last conversation we had a few days ago I told him how much of an impact he had on my life. His spirit, heart and legacy will live on in me.”
