PARIS Hilton returned home when she was denied entry at Tokyo's airport yesterday following a drug violation in the US - running afoul of strict Japanese laws that have tripped up celebrities from Paul McCartney to soccer star Diego Maradona.
"I'm going back home, and I look forward to coming back to Japan in the future," a smiling Hilton said before departing on her private jet.
The 29-year-old celebrity socialite had arrived at Narita International Airport two days after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor drug charge in Las Vegas. Japan has strict immigration laws that bar entry to those convicted of drug offenses, although exceptions are occasionally granted.
Hilton was to appear yesterday in Tokyo to promote her fashion and fragrance lines. She also canceled appearances in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jakarta, Indonesia.
