Los Angeles is braced for the release of Paris Hilton from prison tomorrow.

The hotel heiress, socialite and television personality is to be released after serving 23 days of a 45-day prison sentence for violating probation rules over her conviction for alcohol-related reckless driving.

The Los Angeles Times reported today that residents in Hilton’s exclusive enclave in the Hollywood Hills above Sunset Boulevard had distributed leaflets protesting about the celebrity's return.

They have called on authorities to crack down on paparazzi and media in order to avoid a repeat of the circus that surrounded Hilton’s extraordinary police convoy to a Los Angeles court-room on June 8.

We'll always have Paris

She's dismissed as an airhead heiress and the queen of trashy modern celebrity. But is there an enduring icon behind the glitzy blonde facade? Giles Hattersley meets Paris Hilton

“Dear Neighbor, since the arrival of Paris Hilton to our neighborhood, we’ve seen our quality of life deteriorate,” the leaflet reads. “We feel we need to take a united stand. The circus will resume next week when she gets out of jail."

Neighbours have complained that as well as the habitual presence of paparazzi, Hilton’s home has also hosted wild parties that have shattered the calm of the area.

“We shouldn’t have to absorb all of this because of one person. Why must we put up with all her baggage?” Selby Segall, 75, said.

City authorities have declared the streets surrounding Hilton’s home a no-parking zone in order to ease congestion, as the media prepares to cover her release from tomorrow but news crews were already setting up outside the Century Regional Detention Facility today in case Hilton is smuggled out of custody early.

Reports Monday quoted Hilton’s family and friends as saying that a “quiet gathering” was being planned for the socialite’s release, playing down speculation of a lavish bash in Las Vegas. A spokeswoman for the Hilton family said she “can’t wait to take that orange suit off."

“Paris is doing really well, she is really looking forward to going home, and she thanks you in the press who supported her,” she said. “She wants to be with the family."

Hilton’s first post-prison interview will be held with veteran CNN anchor Larry King on Wednesday. The network and a spokesman for Hilton said the 26-year-old would not receive payment for the interview.

In a statement released through her publicist, Hilton said she was pleased to be telling her side of the story on King’s show.

“I am thrilled that Larry King has asked me to appear on his program to discuss my experience in jail, what I have learned, how I have grown and anything else he wants to talk about,” she said.
