The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services visited Paris Hilton’s home earlier this week to investigate a complaint about her owning 17 dogs, TMZ.com reports.

By law, a non-breeder in L.A. is only allowed to own three dogs per address.

A Department of Animal Services spokesman said that Hilton - or her pets - were not home when they visited, according to TMZ.

The critically panned Hottie and the Nottie star, 27 — who has been in Las Vegas celebrating the launch of her Paris Hilton Collection — admitted she owned all the pooches on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday.

“I have 17 dogs — lots,” she said. “They all sleep in my bed - well, not all of them, but I let some of them.”

Hilton said she has so many dogs because “they keep having babies, and I feel bad about giving them away.”

When DeGeneres asked Hilton why she didn’t just get the dogs neutered, she said that they all now were “fixed,” but later added, “well, two of them weren’t.”
