Paris has made an “extremely generous” donation towards the construction of a children’s hospital in Los Angeles.

Hilton has put an undisclosed amount of her own money to help with the building of a new wing of the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, according to hospital officials.

Hilton made a promise to become a better person after spending 23 days in jail last year following probation violations on alcohol related reckless driving charges - claiming she wanted “to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis”.

The money donated by the hotel heiress will go towards a Children’s Centre for Cancer and Blood Diseases and will open in 2010.
