Paris Hilton has been caught alledgedly carrying cannabis in her handbag.

The 25-year-old socialite attended a fashion party in Milan and was pictured with a transparent plastic bag of what appeared to be skunk, a powerful form of marijuana, as she opened her handbag.

A witness said: “Paris had her bag open for quite a while as she applied lip gloss. There were a few shocked faces around her but she carried on chatting away.”
