Washington, Feb 21 : Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson has said that she is trying to keep a low profile because she has been irritated by the prying media eye since her split with the Playboy Mogul, and the subsequent engagement with Hank Baskett.

The former `Girls Next Door' star said that security scares and prying packs of paparazzi forced her out of the Hollywood heat.

Speaking at the Silverspoon Oscars House, the 23-year-old bride-to-be said that though she was excited for her June wedding with Baskett, she was trying to lay as low as possible.

"I''ve had to move to the Valley to get away from it. Being followed like that is really scary," Fox News quoted her as saying.

However, many photo agencies have revealed that ever since Hefner's three top girlfriends-Holly Madison, Wilkinson, Bridget Marquardt-have walked out on him, their picture value has dropped significantly.

But Kendra still sells the highest of them all.

On the other hand, the busty beauty has claimed that she has no regrets about leaving Playboy, and is the happiest she''s ever been.

She also said that her octogenarian ex, and the other two Palyboy bunnies, were still her "best friends." (ANI)
