It may be noted that Kim Kardashian claimed in her 2015 book named Selfish that she used to click the picture of herself with her the digital camera long before even the iPhone was even developed.
As noted by TMZ, Kardashian wrote: "I took pictures of myself with digital cameras when I was in junior high and high school, and I just got hooked...I was always obsessed with selfies."
In the meantime, Hilton's bizarre claim grabbed a lot of attention as Twitterati did not waste a moment to poke fun at her: They posted a lot of funny instances to prove the selfie had been invented long before 2006.
