The hotel heiress formerly known as inmate 9818783 made an early exit from the Century Regional Detention Facility Thursday after serving just three of the 45 days to which she was originally sentenced.
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said it would hold a news conference later in the day to discuss the circumstances leading to Hilton's release.
Hilton entered the Lynwood, California facility on Sunday, just hours after making a red carpet appearance at the MTV Movie Awards.
Members of her family and her attorney claimed she was "doing well" during her brief sojourn behind bars.
Undoubtedly, she's doing even better now that she's back on the streets.
The Simple Life star was handed her 45-day sentence for violating her probation on an alcohol-related driving charge on May 4.
Though the judge initially said Hilton could expect to serve her full sentence, with no provisions for house arrest or monitoring bracelet options, it was later sliced in half due to overcrowded jail conditions and a California statute that grants credit for good behavior.
That bisected sentence was in turn cut short by an estimated 20 days.
Breaking news. More to come.

I saw somewhere it was due to "an unspecified medical problem". Yeah right! Probably something ridiculous that any regular person would still be in jail anyways.

I just read the same thing. It's so convenient that all of a sudden her "medical problem" surfaces.
I read her medical problem was an impending nervous breakdown. This is so f-ing stupid I can hardly stand it. I guarantee you that if I landed my happy ass in jail and ended up crying uncontollably - ummmm- I WOULD STILL be crying my ass off in jail! This makes me soooooo mad

I read her medical problem was an impending nervous breakdown.
my co-workers and i are speculating that it really is a drug withdrawal. however, the nervous breakdown is probably b/c she's not able to stare @ herself in the mirror.
So ridiculous. She should have served her whole sentence, just like every other person in this country would have to. The special treatment these celebrities get just really pisses me off.
Crazy that money can buy your way out of jail. I wonder if her and her lawyers discussed her being "ill" as a way to get out of jail. Wouldn't surprise me.
