She’s used to hitting the headlines for her love life, designer shopping sprees and even her desperate singing attempts – but lately the heiress Paris Hilton has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

Following her arrest in Las Vegas for cocaine possession last month, the reality star has now found herself in yet another late night brush with the law.

The socialite and her boyfriend Cy Waits were in an alleged hit-and-run incident in Hollywood this week after her beau reportedly hit a photographer outside Boa restaurant.



According to RadarOnline the female snapper was knocked to the pavement before later being taken to hospital for a cut on her right shin.

In video footage of the incident, Cy - who is behind the wheel of the blue vehicle - is seen asking if the photographer is OK, to which another paparazzo tells him "yes".

After the couple drove off, the photographer called the police, who arrived at the scene to question her.

Cy was reportedly cited for hit-and-run and is set to appear in court at a later date.

But in attempt to make light of the incident later on her Twitter page, the wannabe pop princess wrote,

"Lovely evening with friends and family ruined by aggressive paparazzi. They are literally insane!"
