Paris Hilton gets back stolen jewellery

Heiress praises LAPD for their work

Paris Hilton is happy to have her bling returned

Paris Hilton has been reunited with jewellery that was stolen from her almost a year ago.

The socialite's LA home was burgled in December 2008 and thieves got away with an estimated $2million in valuables.

But detectives have managed to track down the items for Paris, 28.

‘She went to the police station last night to retrieve her stolen belongings,' says her publicist Dawn Miller.

‘She didn't get everything but fortunately most of her jewellery was returned. She is really pleased and thankful to the LAPD for their help.'

A group of 6 people have been arrested in connection with the burglary and raids on the homes of fellow celebs Lindsay Lohan, 23, and The Hills star Audrina Patridge.

Nicholas Prugo, 18, has been formally charged with those break-ins.

‘I commend the LAPD for apprehending the major culprits in these capers, and I'm confident that Mr Prugo will be found to have had a limited role in this case,' his lawyer Sean G Erenstoft tells People.

‘We're pleased that stolen property is being returned to its rightful owners.'
