It doesn't exist in standard Italian. But in some dialects a paparazzo is a particularly annoying buzzing mosquito. Because some photographers can be like this, Federico Fellini named a news photographer character "Signore Paparazzo" in his movie 'La Dolce Vita', and that's why it became used to refer to over-eager photographers.
