Paris Hilton arrived back to America today after being refused entry to Japan following her recent arrest for cocaine possession.
The 29-year-old heiress was pictured disembarking a private jet at Van Nuys, California on Wednesday night.
It comes after she had been detained and questioned for six hours after landing at Narita International Airport in Tokyo earlier in the week.
After further questioning by immigration officials, it was decided the socialite should return to the States.

Not happy: The heiress looked glum as she made her way through the airportAfter six hours talking with immigration officials in the airport Hilton was told she would have to remain at an airport hotel until the issue was resolved.
The interview with the heiress continued today with immigration official Masaaki Nakayama confirming: 'In general, those who have committed drug-related crimes are not allowed entry into Japan.'
Under Japanese law, immigration authorities can deny entry to those who have been convicted of drug-related offences.
As she arrived in Tokyo, an apparently cheery Hilton tweeted a picture of herself with sister Nicky, with the caption: 'Just landed in Tokyo with my BFF/Sis @NickyHilton.'
Hilton was arrested for cocaine possession in Las Vegas last month when she was pulled over by police who suspected her boyfriend Cy Waits was driving under the influence.
Waits was arrested for DUI.
Hilton was found to have just under a gram of cocaine in her purse which she then tried to claim did not belong to her.
She was officially charged yesterday and given one year's suspended jail sentence, a $2,000 fine and 200 hours of community service as part of a plea deal, just hours before she boarded the plane to Japan.
