Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis desperately tried to buy back intimate video footage he shot with hotel heiress Paris Hilton that is now being shown on the Internet.

Hilton is considering taking legal action against the new website, ParisExposed.com, which features video footage and photographs she left in a Los Angeles-based storage locker.

Francis, who was dating Hilton when they shot private videos, tried to get the items back, but refused to pay the millions of dollars the broker was asking for.

He tells E! News, "I was actually trying to negotiate to get my tapes back, but we were unsuccessful. They had asked me for $7 million bucks.

"At Girls Gone Wild there's a reason why we get consent from people. Because we can't disseminate their image without their permission.

"I shot the tapes and there are pictures of me and somebody else disseminated it without my permission.

"This was meant to be a (private) video that I made with my girlfriend at the time, who was Paris Hilton."
