Socialite
Paris
Hilton
has
begun
her
23-day
jail
term
early
after
turning
herself
in
to
Los
Angeles
Sheriff
authorities
last
night
at
10.30pm.
The
star,
who
was
expected
to
start
her
time
in
jail
tomorrow
(June
5),
was
driven
to
the
city's
Men's
Central
Jail
to
surrender
to
the
L.A.
County
Sheriff
-
miles
away
from
the
Century
Regional
Detention
Center
where
she
will
serve
her
sentence
-
in
a
bid
to
avoid
the
paparazzi.
Earlier
in
the
evening,
Hilton
attended
the
MTV
Movie
Awards
where
she
admitted
she
was
"scared
but
being
strong" as
she
faced
her
jail
term
for
violating
her
probation
following
a
2006
drink-driving
arrest.
The
star
rushed
to
her
parents
home
after
the
ceremony,
before
being
driven
to
downtown
L.A.
by
her
lawyer
Richard
Hutton
to
turn
her
in
to
the
authorities
-
accompanied
by
mum
Kathy
and
sister
Nicky.
The
hotel
heiress
will
spend
23
days
in
the
Lynwood
jail,
where
she
will
spend
23
hours
out
of
24
in
solitary
confinement.
Hilton
will
be
allowed
to
shower,
watch
TV
and
use
a
phone
during
the
one
hour
break
from
her
cell.
In
a
statement
released
by
Hutton,
Hilton
says,
"I
am
ready
to
face
the
consequences
of
violating
probation.
During
the
past
few
weeks,
I
have
had
a
lot
of
time
to
think
and
have
come
to
realise
I
made
some
mistakes.
"This
is
an
important
point
in
my
life
and
I
need
to
take
responsibility
for
my
actions.
In
the
future,
I
plan
on
taking
more
of
an
active
role
in
the
decisions
I
make.
I
want
to
thank
my
family,
friends
and
fans
for
their
continued
support.
Although
I
am
scared,
I
am
ready
to
begin
my
jail
sentence."
