Abstract: We show that if a compact hypersurface $Msubsetmathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $ngeq3$, admits a non zero Killing vector field $X$ of constant length then $n$ is even and $M$ is diffeomorphic to the unit hypersphere of $mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Actually, we show that $M$ is a complex ellipsoid in $mathbb{C}^N=mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. As an application we give a simpler proof of a recent theorem due to S. Deshmukh cite{De12}.
