Kathy Hilton has spoken out about her daughter’s jail stint – and revealed how Paris developed a rash from having to sleep in “sandpaper” bed sheets during her 23 day stay.

Kathy spoke of how difficult it was to see her daughter's suffering during jail visits.

Kathy tells People magazine: "One of the hardest things was seeing the rashes on her arms and face from the thin sheets."

Luckily for Paris, mum Kathy lovingly prepared a comfortable haven in which her daughter could recover from the trauma of having to make do with cheap, regulation bed linen.

Kathy says: "She had been in jail, obviously with the very thin sheets and one pillow and one little thin blanket. That's how inmates get rashes. It feels like sandpaper.

"So I made her a bed up in what used to be the baby nursery for the grandchildren at Paris' grandfather's house. I had fresh, really soft towels, and really soft sheets and one of those really soft, cuddly blankets called 'my blankey,' and nice soft pillowcases.

"She went in, and she looked at the towels and the water by her bedside. I wanted to make her feel really welcome.

"And we went downstairs and made a sandwich. And she ran outside with her doggie. And she ran, and she was screaming, 'Oh, this feels so good. I feel so lucky.' "
