Katy Perry in hot water over video shoot at UNESCO site

Katy Perry may be hot water with Spanish authorities as a result of her video for new release Lifetimes.

The video sees the US singer frolicking on a Spanish beach - leading authorities to launch an inquest into the allegedly unauthorised Ibiza shoot.

The Balearic Islands Department of Agriculture, Fishery and Natural Environment said yesterday that the production company responsible for recording the video in Ibiza, famed for its beaches and raucous nightlife, had not requested authorisation.

"That is why preliminary investigation actions have been initiated," it said in a statement.

Although part of the video was shot in the Natural Park of Ses Salines, whose hills, beaches and salt flats are a haven for birds and other wildlife, the department said no crime against the environment was suspected, but rather an administrative violation.

Ses Salines is a UNESCO World Heritage nature reserve that stretches between the islands of Ibiza and Formentera.

The video, released last week, features 39-year-old Perry travelling first by plane and then by boat to Ibiza wearing a pink T-shirt with 'Eurotrash' emblazoned on it, then partying on a beach and in nightclubs in a variety of bikinis and outfits.

The production company We Own the City did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
