Paris Hilton attacked a photographer

Paris Hilton has been accused of attacking a photographer because she 'was on drugs'.

The Hilton hotel heiress was captured on camera in a physical altercation with paparazzi member Billy Barerra on Tuesday (26.06.12).

According to Billy she was worried he had caught her doing something bad.

He told website RadarOnline: 'It was 3:30 in the morning, the party was over and I was just walking through the parking lot to go to the bathroom when I see Paris, so I turned on my camera.

'I wasn't expecting to get jumped! I've shot Paris a lot and am always nice to her.'

Shortly afterwards her entourage -- including heir Brandon Davis -- tried to take the camera from him.

Billy said: 'Paris was acting like she was on drugs. I know drugs, I've seen a lot of people on them, and Paris is one of them.'

He continued: 'She attacked me for no reason, like you can see on the video, but what you don't see is that she was hanging off my neck like a piggy back ride as I walked up to the next garage level.

'Her friends all started attacking me and no one could see us until we got up to that next level, and that's when I yelled for help and the other paps came running and shot some video.'

Later, staff at David Arquette's new nightclub Bootsy Bellows allegedly tried to strike a deal with him.

He claimed: 'She said she wanted to negotiate with me, telling me this was bad publicity for the club.'
