Paris Hilton’s little sister Nicky Hilton has said she thinks it’s “absurd” that Paris is going to jail over a driving offence.

Speaking at a Blackberry Curve event at the Beverly Wilshire hotel on Thursday night, Nicky told the New York Daily News: “I think my sister 100% deserves to be punished, but it’s kind of absurd that she’s going to jail for a traffic violation.”

Paris refused to add her own opinion on the matter saying “my lawyer would kill me”.

The sisters went to Teddy’s after the Blackberry event with onlookers suggesting the night out would be Paris’ last hurrah before surrendering herself to start her jail sentence next week.

A fellow clubgoer told Us Weekly: “She was getting hugs from her friends and looking rather down and depressed.”

Paris is expected to start her sentence on Monday.
