Paris Hilton stepped out for the night braving the cold Los Angeles weather to enjoy a Chinese dinner.

Paris went to the legendary Mr Chow’s for her supper in the pouring rain - but still managed to keep up appearances in a trendy hat.

The heiress was spotted wearing a Fedora style hat to ward off the rain, as well as warm black tights as she dashed from the Beverly hills restaurant to her waiting car.

Hotel magnate Barron Hilton, 80, will donate 97% of his $2.3bn (£1.2bn; 1.6bn euros) fortune to the Conrad N Hilton Foundation, set up by his father.

The funds come from the $20bn sale of Hilton Hotels to The Blackstone Group.

Reports have said that Mr Hilton is embarrassed by the behaviour of his granddaughter.

Ms Hilton, known for her party lifestyle, spent three weeks in jail earlier this year for violating probation in a drink driving case.

Mr Hilton will give $1.2bn immediately to a charitable trust that will eventually benefit the foundation.

The rest of the money will follow after his death.

The foundation supports projects that provide clean water in Africa, education for blind children and housing for the mentally ill.
