Paris Hilton has left mainland United States according to recent reports, jetting out to Hawaii in a fake black wig.

Initial reports indicated that Paris was going to be decamping to Malibu to rest and recuperate from her jail sentence in two-bedroom, three-bathroom mansion that dwarfed her cramped cell by sitting on 2258 square feet right alongside the beach.

Paris Hilton appeared on Larry King's talk show Wednesday evening, Californian time.

At the same time, People Magazine in the United States secured a similarly exclusive interview with the recently released celebutante, fresh out of County jail.

In the dual interviews, Paris is humble and contrite, saying that the day she was released from Lynwood Correctional Facility was the happiest day of her life. "I can't even describe walking out of that place," she said, likening it to someone's wedding day or when they give birth.

On Larry King, Hilton appeared close to tears as she told of her shock at being sentenced to jail. Paris said that the day of her sentencing came as a complete shock - she had been under the impression that she would only be sentenced to community service after testing positive to driving under the influence of alcohol on September 7, 2006.

However, it wasn't the actual DUI charge that resulted in Paris going to jail. Instead, she attended court for driving with a suspended license, something that she said she did in error. "I was under the impression that I did have my license," she claimed, saying that she was under the understanding that she was not allowed to drive for 30 days, then after 90 days was able to drive herself to and from work.

"After that I drove for work-related purposes," the hotel heiress claimed, confirming that she also undertook the mandatory alcohol education program. After being sentenced to jail, Paris began being spotted around Los Angeles sporting self-help books and the Bible, which she describes as preparation for her sentence.

"I was just trying to strengthen myself spiritually," she explained. "Just getting closer to God and my higher self."

She tells of how she tricked the trailing media by heading to prison immediately after attending the MTV Movie Awards for 2007, and that the process of being readied for confinement was traumatic. "They do the [strip] search - which is humiliating enough - and fingerprints, mugshot, just like you would see in a movie. I couldn't believe it was happening."

Now that she is out, Paris assures she has grown and matured as a result of her experience. "I know there is so much more to life than the whole club scene," Paris said of her changed attitude to life, before saying that "Obviously I'll still go out sometimes; I'm young and I like to be social."

Paris said that her jail term has made her a stronger person. "I know that I can get through anything and do anything now that I went through that," she says of her experience.
