That is was she was released from jail. Paris Hilton left the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, early Thursday morning after serving only five days of her sentence, and has been reassigned to 40 days of house arrest, LA County sheriff spokesperson Steve Whitmore said.
"It is not an early release -- it is a reassignment,� Whitmore stressed. She will fulfill the remainder of her time from home.
He added that the decision is "not unprecedented and happens occasionally.�
Psychiatrist Charles Sophy visited Hilton in jail for two days before her release . According to TMZ on Sophy's last visit, word was passed to the Sheriff that Hilton's mental state was fragile and she was at risk.
The reason for releasing her had nothing to do with a rash or other physical issues.
Last month, on the eve of a trial in which Hilton was accused of slandering socialite Zeta Graph, Dr. Sophy told the judge that Hilton was "emotionally distraught and traumatized" over her jail sentence, which prevented her from participating in a meaningful defense.
The 26-year-old heiress will be monitored via ankle bracelet and will be allowed to leave her home and venture into her front yard but for no longer than 30 minutes reports US Magazine.
"After extensive consultation with medical professionals it was determined this reassignment would take place."
