Paris Hilton insists that despite her partying and beach life over the part few weeks, she hasn’t forgotten her pledge to do more for charity.

Paris claimed to have turned over a new leaf on leaving jail last month and only wanted to use her fame to help others from then on. While her activities - in Hawaii and Malibu - over the last few weeks seem contrary to that, she’s also getting involved with good causes at the same time.

The heiress attended the 4th annual “Night By the Ocean” gala auction in aid of the “Life Rolls On” spinal injuries charity - and as well as appearing at the event, she bid (and won) a $17,500 surfing lesson with the charity’s founder, former pro-surfer Jesse Billauer.

Speaking to People magazine at the event, she added that she’s been busy elsewhere too: “I was just at the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital visiting all of the kids and premature babies in the cancer ward.”

“I [also] met with philanthropists and they’re doing a summit with five major charities and we’ll be doing stuff all over the world. I’m excited.”
