Paris Hilton Takes a Hit, Falls Down During Paparazzi Smackdown—See the Photo!

Socialite is knocked into a wall upon leaving a nightclub in Hollywood

For socialite Paris Hilton, her socializing took a turn for the worse on Tuesday evening.

While heading out of David Arquette's new Hollywood nightclub Bootsy Bellows, a paparazzo apparently got a little too close for one of her friends' liking. As a result, the pal proceeded to grab the camera out of the photog's hands, according to the photo agency.

And that's when things got a bit ugly.

A scuffle soon ensued and Hilton, wearing a skimpy blue minidress, subsequently found herself being knocked into a wall.

Thankfully, the 31-year-old heiress was not injured.

While police were not called to the scene, the pap claimed that a member of Hilton's entourage stole not only his camera but his jacket as well. No word if he intends to contact authorities.
