Socialite Paris Hilton has been released from her jail sentence after just three days in the slammer. She is reportedly being released for health reasons.

“She was not released, she was reassigned,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. spokesperson Steve Whitmore said at a press conference Thursday.

He would not provide further details about the medical condition, citing privacy laws. He did not know if the condition was pre-existing, but said the decision was made after “extensive consultation” with medical personnel.

Whitmore said Hilton was released shortly after midnight on Thursday: “She was transported out of here by us, there was a transference to her attorney, and then she was taken home.”

Hilton has been credited with five days of time served and will spend the remaining 40 days of her 45-day sentence confined to her home wearing an ankle bracelet with a range of 3,000-4,000 square feet.

Hilton’s medical condition has been widely discussed on several gossip sites over the past couple of years.

The good Reverend Al Sharpton says Hilton’s release ranks of ‘racism and favoritism’.
