Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has been taken from court screaming after being ordered to return to jail to serve out her entire 45-day sentence.
After the decision by Supreme Court Judge Michael Sauer, Hilton, who left jail early Thursday after spending just three days behind bars, wailed "Mom, Mom, it's not right" as she was escorted from the Los Angeles courtroom by sheriff's deputies.
Hilton, who was brought to court in handcuffs in a sheriff's car, entered the courtroom dishevelled and crying. Her hair was askew and she wore a grey fuzzy sweatshirt over dark trousers.
The party girl - who was given a jail term after being caught driving her Bentley without a valid licence, a violation of her probation for a prior drunken-driving offence - wore no makeup and cried throughout the hearing.
Her body also shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to her parents who were seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed the words: "I love you."
Hilton's early release from her cell at Los Angeles County Jail's Lynwood lockup on Thursday morning for unspecified medical reasons infuriated Judge Sauer and sparked outrage in the US.
Judge Sauer told the court on Friday: "I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions. At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home on Kings Road."
He earlier ordered her back to court, under sheriff's escort, to determine whether she should go back to jail. She emerged from her four-bedroom, three-bathroom Hollywood Hills mansion wearing sunglasses and stopped to hug friends before getting into the police car.
As it attempted to get through hoards of awaiting paparazzi, a tannoy blasted "Move out of the way, Move out of the way" at the crowds of snappers and onlookers.
