In honor of October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Monday's World Mental Health Day, Paris Hilton shared an Instagram post to encourage her followers to take care of their physical and mental wellbeing. She also remembered her late grandmother, Kathy Richards, who died 20 years ago from breast cancer.

"Not only is it Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but today is also World Mental Health Day 💕🎗️ My grandmother passed away from breast cancer and I miss her every single day 🥺😢" she wrote. "I can't stress how important it is for my mental health to make sure I'm being proactive and not reactive when it comes to my physical health."

Hilton shared photos and videos of herself while getting a full-body MRI scan — including her cancer-free results.
