Francesca Hilton, Daughter Of Zsa Zsa Gabor, Dies At 67

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Francesca Hilton, the only daughter of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor and Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton, has died of an apparent stroke/heart attack, her publicist said Tuesday. She was 67.

Constance Francesca Gabor Hilton died at approximately 10:20 p.m. Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, publicist Edward Lozzi said. She was with her fiancé, Michael Natsis, who administered CPR before paramedics arrived, Lozzi said.

"As Francesca's publicist and one of her best friends I am shocked," Lozzi said. "We were on the phone minutes before she died. We were discussing her book she was writing and a possible deal. She had to go to the restroom. She never made it out."

Hilton had been embroiled in a long feud with her mother's ninth husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, over his guardianship of his 97-year-old wife and the expenses incurred in looking after her.

Hilton called her attorney Ken Kossoff just hours before her death, asking that he take action against von Anhalt for allegedly violating a court order, allowing her to visit her mother, Lozzi said.

Hilton is a great aunt of socialite Paris Hilton.

Funeral arrangements are pending, Lozzi said.
