Paris Hilton bid farewell to her 20s on Tuesday night by hosting a Twenties themed birthday party.

The hotel heiress, who turned 30 on Thursday, dressed in a striking basque and feathery skirt for her 'Pimps and Showgirls' party in LA.

Accompanied by her former nightclub owner boyfriend Cy Waits, Paris partied into the early hours with 300 guests.

Earlier in February the socialite admitted she was nervous about turning 30.

Speaking to Closer magazine she said: "I’m freaking out! I can’t believe I’m going to be 30! At least I still look like I’m 20."

Another consolation is the yellow limited edition Lexus, worth £336,000, Cy presented her with during the filming of her latest reality TV show.
