Paris Hilton says she 'still loves' Benji Madden

Washington, Nov 22 : Paris Hilton may have called it quits with Benji Madden, but the socialist insists that she's 'still in love with him'.

Speaking on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS F.M. radio show on Nov 21, Hilton said that although they've broken up, but they still remain close friends.

"You know, I love him. He's such an amazing man and he's my best friend and he's been so great to me and so loyal," People quoted Hilton as saying.

She added: "He's an incredible person. We'll always be very close. We'll see what happens in the future. I'm still in love with him."

As for the reason of the split, the 27-year-old heiress said their busy travel schedules were to blame, and that the separation was a mutual decision.

She even denied rumours that she's dumped the "Good Charlotte" rocker and is looking for other men.

"We're both working so much. There are all these reports saying that I dumped Benji. That's not true. This was a decision we made together as two adults," she said.

However, Hilton said that the duo hasn't completely closed doors for a future together.

"Right now we are just taking a break. We are really good friends. We're really close," she said.
