  • Paris Hilton dropped the first trailer of her YouTube documentary "This Is Paris"
  • The heiress also shared the trailer on Twitter
  • Twitter users responded positively to Paris' documentary

Paris Hilton got emotional while baring it all in her upcoming YouTube Originals documentary.

Paris just dropped the first trailer for her documentary, entitled "This is Paris." In the clip, the heiress talked about her childhood trauma and how it affected her life growing up in the spotlight.

"I feel like the whole world thinks they know me," she said in the trailer.

"No one really knows who I am. ... I don't even know who I am sometimes. I didn't use to be that way. I'm so used to like, playing a character, that it's hard for me be normal."

The trailer also featured recent footage of Paris fighting with someone backstage and old clips of her as a child getting dropped off at boarding school.

"Something happened in my childhood that I've never talked about with anyone," Paris said.

"But I couldn't tell you guys, because every time I tried, I would get punished by them. I still have nightmares about it. The only thing that saved my sanity was thinking about who I wanted to become when I got out of there. I just created this brand and this persona and this character, and I've been stuck with her ever since.”

The video also showed Paris' sister Nicky and their mom Kathy Hilton.

"They say [with] trauma, the mind may forget, but the body never forgets," Nicky said.

"It's trapped in you, and it can come out whenever.”

The trailer ended with someone asking Paris, "Is that enough?" She then looked uncertain and emotional before saying, “No."

Paris also shared the trailer on Twitter. In the caption, the "Bottoms Up" star wrote that she has never been open about her life before and she’s now ready to share her truth.

Paris' post on Twitter received positive responses from the netizens because they noticed how she matured based on the trailer.

"Nice to see you evolve Paris...and to be vulnerable shows your maturity as a woman. I'll watch #thisisparis and look forward to it. FYI, I've never followed you but I will now," one wrote.

"Incredibly brave! Since we met at your Collision From Home press briefing, I have wanted to write YOUR story as your biographer. There is so much that the world needs - and WANTS - to know about you!" another added.

“This is Paris” is coming to YouTube on Sept. 14.
