BEIJING, June 11 (Xinhuanet) -- Socialite and hotel heiress Paris Hilton, said late on Saturday afternoon that she had told her attorneys not to appeal the order that sent her back to jail and called for an end to the media frenzy fueled by her jail sentence.

The 26-year-old Hilton began her jail term last Sunday night at the sprawling Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, just outside Los Angeles.

She was released for unspecified medical reasons last week after serving just three days behind bars, provoking a public outcry amid allegations of favoritism.

At a hearing on Friday, the judge, Michael Sauer, ordered the distraught celebrity heiress back to jail to serve out the remainder of her 45-day jail term in the medical unit of another detention site in downtown Los Angeles.

New reports Sunday said that Hilton's health collapse last week was caused by dehydration.

"She didn't eat or drink a single thing for three days because she didn't want to use the toilet," a source also told the New York Daily News, adding that Hilton suffered from claustrophobia and hyperventilation.

Hilton, though mad at the decision to return her to prison, said in a statement released through her lawyers on Saturday that she would not appeal.

"I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision," Hilton said, describing being in jail as "by far the hardest thing I have ever done."

Hilton said in her statement she was stunned by the blanket coverage of her case.

"I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done -- by the media, public and city officials," she said.


"I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq and other places around the world."

Hilton was jailed in May for violating the terms of her probation following a conviction for alcohol-related reckless driving.
