American socialite Paris Hilton is expected to return to South Africa in June after a surprise visit to the country, organisers said at the weekend.

The Sunday Times reported that Hilton stole the limelight from international rock bands and musicians who jetted into South Africa for the My Coke Fest rock festival.

Hilton, who played the role of rock chick during her visit, accompanied her musician boyfriend Benji Madden, the guitarist and back-up vocalist of the band Good Charlotte.

At the festival's after-party on Friday night at Fashion TV Cafe in Fourways, northern Johannesburg, the smiling celebrity was swamped by photographers and screaming fans as she arrived just before midnight and made her way through the venue.

Surrounded by bodyguards and dressed in a full-length halterneck gown, she did a brief interview with Fashion TV before she was escorted to the VIP section.- Sapa
