00:00 Paris Hilton is looking back on her selfie days with Britney Spears.

00:05 Taking to Instagram on November 19, the hotel heiress takes a walk down memory lane,

00:11 sharing a trio of snaps with the Toxic singer from 2006.

00:16 And as Paris maintains, the photos capture more than just pop culture history.

00:22 She writes, "17 years ago, Britney and I created the selfie. Tag me in your most

00:28 epic selfies to celebrate the most iconic invention."

00:32 The Paris in Love star follows up by asking fans on X,

00:37 formerly known as Twitter, "In the 2000s, I invented the selfie.

00:41 What have you done with my invention since then?"

00:44 "All the things that people are doing today with social media, the first person was Paris Hilton."

00:50 And this isn't the first time Paris has spoken out about being the self-proclaimed

00:55 inventor of the selfie. Back in 2017, she told W Magazine,

01:01 "If a beeper had a camera, I would have taken a selfie with it.

01:04 I think I have a selfie from when I was a little kid, like on a disposable camera."

01:09 As for Britney and Paris' friendship, it also goes way back.

01:14 The duo were often photographed together during the early to late 2000s,

01:19 including alongside Lindsay Lohan in the now-iconic photo of them leaving a club.

01:25 Nearly two decades later, Paris' bond with the Grammy winner is stronger than yesterday.

01:32 Of Britney, in 2022, she told E! News, "She's one of the kindest people in the world and is

01:39 such an angel. She is not like any of the people in this town. She means a lot to me."

01:45 The "Grammy" star is set to return to the U.S. in 2022.
