Paris Celebrates Father's Day with Dad

Mon., Jun. 18, 2007 9:53 AM PDT by Marcus Errico

Paris Hilton dipped into her arts-and-crafts arsenal to try to bring a little bit of cheer to her dad's Father's Day.

Hilton received a Sunday-night visit from parents Rick and Kathy. The elder Hiltons pulled up to Century Regional Detention Center about 7 p.m. and immediate a throng of reporters and paparazzi surrounded the couple's chauffeur-driven silver Chrysler.

The couple were peppered with questions during their walk into the jail. Asked if he was having a happy Father's Day, Rick Hilton responded curtly: "Not one of my best."

Their visit lasted about 45 minutes.

Heading back to the car, Kathy Hilton described the session.

"[Paris] made a beautiful Father's Day card with pretty pictures," she told reporters. Rick Hilton said that it was a "positive" visit.

Kathy reiterated that Paris "is really cold [and] she kept rubbing her arm" for warmth. The Hilton matriarch also said that Paris spends her 23 hours of daily confinement "looking at the four walls and reading some nice fan mail."

"But she's okay," Kathy said before climbing back into the car.

Their visit came a day after sister Nicky stopped by. The younger Hilton was accompanied to the jail by her boyfriend, David Katzenberg, and another woman.

Nicky Hilton declined to speak to reporters, but, according to TMZ.com, she left a small package with jailers.

There was one group of visitors Paris didn't receive over the weekend.

Representatives from the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association and Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable tried to hand deliver a letter to Hilton requesting she speak out on the jail system and its treatment of inmates in need of medical and psychological care.

"This will be a time for Paris to step up, and step her game up, and do
what's right and represent people who need help in the mental illness area," said
Eddie Jones, of the L.A. Civil Rights Association.

"We've seen celebrities now who have made statements they want to get
involved in social causes," added Hutchinson of the Urban Policy Roundtable. "This is a challenge to Paris Hilton."

Hilton, who has admitted to being "severely depressed" behind bars, needs to become "a poster girl for the mentally challenged," Hutchinson said.

Correction officers promised to forward the letter to Hilton.

There was no comment from Hilton publicist Elliot Mintz, who said he wouldn't speak to reporters on Paris' behalf until she is released.

In other news, Sheriff Lee Baca is putting off a request from the L.A. Board of Supervisors to file a report and appear at a meeting Tuesday to explain his ill-fated transfer of Hilton to home detention. Baca, who is also being targeted by a recall campaign, has instead flown to Turkey for a conference on international security issues.

He promised to attend a meeting on June 26—the day Paris is due to be discharged.
