Paris Hilton has revealed painful photos from her past.
The reality star revealed in her viral YouTube documentary This Is Paris that she endured emotional and physical abuse as a teenager, while attending Provo Canyon School in Utah.
And on Thursday, the 39-year-old shared never-before-seen photos of herself at the age of 18.
The snaps shows a gaunt looking Paris at 18, taken shortly after returning home to New York from the boarding school.
Paris wrote that she could "see the pain in [her] eyes," adding that her younger self was just "trying to block out the painful memories."
"These photos were taken when I was 18 and had recently came home from the horrible experiences I went through at #ProvoCanyonSchool. I can see the pain in my eyes. I was so traumatized that I pretended everything was okay, trying to block out the painful memories."
"Looking at this now, I know that the teen me would be so incredibly proud of the woman I am today. Being brave and using my voice to make a difference and save children from having to endure the abuse myself and so many others have had to go through," she wrote.
The Simple Life star was seen in the photos sporting modest black pants and a navy tee with an NYPD baseball cap over her shoulder length platinum locks.
The heiress has a vacant look on her face and looked rather frail, as her sunken blue eyes were over lined with black eyeliner.
The photos are heartrending after what Hilton shared about what she had been through in her documentary This Is Paris.
Hilton's parents sent her to the controversial boarding school after becoming worried about Paris' "wild ways."
Hilton admits she would sneak out of her family residence at the Waldorf Astoria to go underage clubbing.
Rick and Kathy Hilton looked into behavioral programs to instil some discipline in her. At the age of 17 they sent her to Provo which she deemed, "the worst of the worst."
She alleges she was kidnapped from her bed at her parent's home in the middle of the night. Once she arrived at the school she claims she beaten, drugged, abused (verbally, mentally, and sexually) and forced into solitary confinement.
The now international DJ and business owner describes her time there as her "year of daily horror." It caused her to develop insomnia, depression, trust issues, and crippling nightmares.
After Paris bravely shared the images online, fans praised her for sharing her story.
"Watch her documentary. Everything you thought you knew about her is wrong. She's a self made person and can be proud," one fan wrote.
"Her documentary is worth watching. Good for her using her platform to bring awareness," a second added.
"This is horrible. Institutions like this have to be stopped," a third chimed in.
