Paris' super early morning release didn't stop a horde of paparazzi, media and fans from amassing in front of the doors of the Century Regional Detention Facility, salivating for the first sight of the heiress.

And Hilton didn't disappoint the crowd. She coyly smiled and waved at the flashing cameras. She turned the several yards she walked between the prison doors and her awaiting black SUV into nothing short of a fashion catwalk.

Her hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail and she wore a casual white trimmed jacket over a white shirt, black slacks and heels.

When she reached the black SUV, mother Kathy greeted her with open arms. The two embraced and the surrounding media descended upon the vehicle in frenzy. The SUV made its way out of the facility with the windows down and slow enough to allow every media outlet to get their shot.

Media reports say the 4x4 and a trail of vehicles full of photographers were headed in the direction of the Hilton's Bel Air residence.

Sherrif's spokesman Steve Whitmore told the AP, "She fulfilled her debt. She was obviously in good spirits. She thanked people as she left."
