Add paragraphs item to user entity

Question

I want to create a new paragraph item to a user bundle. This is the code:

$name = "Test";
$userdata = user_load($user->uid);
$paragraph = entity_create('paragraphs_item', array('field_name' => 'field_userdata', 'bundle' => 'userdata'));
$paragraph->setHostEntity('user', $userdata);
$paragraph->field_name[LANGUAGE_NONE][0]['value'] = $name;
$paragraph->save();

But nothing happens, no errors, no new entity.. Are there differences to adding to a node bundle?

Thank you!

First make sure following things are configured properly:

1. Is Entity API module is enabled in your site?
2. Have you enabled Logging and errors from admin/config/development/logging page, to see site errors?
3. In second line you have not defined $user object, are you defined else where?
4. How are you calling this function?

If everything is configured properly then execute following code:

$name = "Test";
global $user;
$userdata = user_load($user->uid);
$paragraph = entity_create('paragraphs_item', array('field_name' => 'field_userdata'));
$paragraph->setHostEntity('user', $userdata);
$paragraph->field_name[$userdata->language][]['value'] = $name;
$entity->save();
