KEY POINTS:
Paris Hilton has taken legal action to shut down a website that displays her diaries, photos and other personal property in what lawyers for the celebrity heiress call "one of the most reprehensible invasions of privacy ever committed".
Hilton says her belongings were taken from storage after a moving company failed to pay the bill and pictures of them were available on the internet to anyone paying a $40 fee to the website ParisExposed.com.
Hilton said: "I was appalled to learn that people are exploiting my and my sisters' private personal belongings for commercial gain."
