Paris Hilton is selling her Hollywood Hills home in a bid to lead a quieter life.

The hotel heiress, who recently served 23 days in a California county jail for driving with a suspended licence, is reportedly planning to leave Hollywood to escape the wild party scene.

Paris' current home is close to Los Angeles' most infamous nightclubs and 'The Simple Life' star has been inundated by invitations from friends begging her to party since being released from prison last week.

However, Paris is keen to prove she is serious about distancing herself from her old life and is set to move to Beverly Hills.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Her current home carries too much temptation. All her clubbing friends come round before and after they go out and try to get her involved.

"She's going to move to Beverly Hills. It's a quieter area and full of older stars rather than the young party set."

However, reformed hellraiser Ozzy Osbourne recently sold his Beverly Hills mansion to Christina Aguilera because the neighbourhood was becoming too lively for him.

Paris is currently holidaying in Hawaii and has asked her father Rick to find her a suitable property.

The 26-year-old blonde recently told US chat show host Larry King: "Jail is a way to start fresh again. And I feel like this is a new beginning for me. There's just so much more to me than what people think."

Paris' current neighbours have filed more than 50 complaints about noise and paparazzi lining their streets. They recently distributed flyers petitioning for Paris to be thrown out of the neighbourhood.

The leaflets read: "Since the arrival of Paris Hilton to our neighbourhood, we have seen our quality of life deteriorate.

"Last week was intolerable. We feel we need to take a united stand."
