Hilton Spends First Day Of Freedom With Family

Socialite Paris Hilton spent her first day of freedom surrounded by family and well-wishers after she was released from jail on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old served 23 days of a 45-day sentence after being found guilty of violating her probation from a drink-driving arrest last year.

After being released at 12:15 am local time from Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California, Hilton went straight to her family's Bel Air mansion.

Throughout Tuesday, Hilton was sent gifts including pink balloons and a frosted cake emblazoned with the words, 'Welcome Home'.

Her aunt Kyle Richards says, "She's very happy to be home - very, very happy. I think she's just excited to be at home and be with her family."
