Tokyo, Japan (CNN) -- Paris Hilton left Japan late Wednesday afternoon, after initially being refused entry because of a drug conviction, immigration officials said.
The American celebrity socialite was heading back to the United States.
She had arrived in Japan on Tuesday and had been allowed to spend the night, to see whether immigration officials would reconsider their initial refusal to allow her entry. Hilton left about 4 p.m. Wednesday, before they reached a final verdict, said an immigration official at Narita Airport.
Hilton pleaded guilty to a drug charge earlier in the week in Las Vegas, Nevada. Japan generally denies entry to foreigners who are on probation.
