It appears Paris Hilton has found a way to pass the time behind bars — responding to her penitentiary pen pals.
In her own Hilty handwriting, Paris replied to one of the thousands of pieces of fan mail she has received behind bars.
“I just read your letter and just wanted to thank you for your kind words of love and support. The fact that you took time out of your day to write me truly means the world. Especially at such a difficult and scary time in my life,” reads the letter, written on plain stationary.
A rep for Paris confirmed the authenticity of the note, which was posted by E! Online.
“I am being strong and trying to make the best out of the situation. And the letters I'm receiving really do put a smile on my face as I sit here in my cell, sad and alone,” Paris wrote. “Again, thank you so much and may God bless you and your family.”
The letter is signed, “Love always, Paris Hilton XOXO” with tiny hearts dotting the "i"s in her name.
However, Paris' time for penning her thanks may be short-lived as she is expected to be released from the Lynwood Detention Facility on Monday.
