Paris Hilton has begun serving her Los Angeles jail sentence for violating probation, just hours after working the red capet at the MTV Movie Awards.





She surrendered herself to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department a day earlier than expected, reportedly in a bid to avoid being seen by the paparazzi.


She was taken to the station by her mother Kathy, where she dropped her brave face and was seen in tears and shielding herself away from onlookers.








Her attorney Richard A. Hutton said in a statement:

"Paris Hilton has turned herself in to begin serving her sentence for violating probation at a Los Angeles County Jail located in Lynwood, California."

It also quoted Paris as saying:

"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... Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence."

It said Hutton picked up at Hilton at her parents' house at 10:30 p.m, and drove to the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles, where she surrendered to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. From there, she was driven to the jail in Lynwood.
