Paris Hilton has spoken of the empowerment she's feeling in telling her truth, detailing her experiences of childhood abuse.

She's just released her auto-biography Paris: The Memoir.

The 42-year-old addresses the alleged abuse she endured at boarding school, being raped at 15, having an abortion in her twenties and her infamous sex tape scandal.

Hilton told Mike Hosking since sharing her experiences of alleged abuse at Provo Canyon School in Utah, tens of thousands of others have spoken out too.

She'll go back to Washington D.C next month to push for federal legislation to introduce her new Bill regulating troubled teenage centres in the U.S.
