Paris Hilton may be smitten with boyfriend Benji Madden but she's in no rush to have children.

The socialite reckons the responsibility would be too much.

'I'm scared to have kids,' she admits.

'You have to really tell them what's going on and make sure they know everything because there are a lot of bad people out there.'

But Paris, 27, says that when she does become a mother, she doesn't her children to grow up in Hollywood.

'I want my kids to grow up on the beach, doing sports and normal things,' she says. 'Not living in LA.'

Paris has been dating Good Carlotte rocker Benji, 28, since February.
