Socialite Paris Hilton.

Paris Hilton has been stopped from entering Japan after pleading guilty to cocaine possession, it has been confirmed. On Monday, Hilton was given a 12-month suspended jail term in Las Vegas after she admitted possessing cocaine and obstructing a police officer in the city in August. Following her hearing, she travelled to Japan’s Narita airport by private jet for "business obligations" but officials denied her entry. She was reportedly questioned for six hours being placed at the Airport Rest House while customs officials decided whether or not to let her in.

"Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn't want to let down her brands and many Asian fans,” Paris’s spokesman told TMZ.com. "She is trying hard to do the responsible thing, but this is beyond her control. She is very disappointed."

Sources close to Paris say she is “devastated” by Japan’s decision. "Paris is beyond upset as she was looking forward to this trip for months. Paris doesn't want to let down her business partners, nor her fans,” the insider claimed. “Paris loves Japan, and Asia and is hoping this can be sorted out so she can proceed with the meetings, store opening, and meet her fans. Paris has the utmost respect for Japan and this mishap has truly devastated her."
