Socialite Paris Hilton has made a “generous donation” to a Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles — a year to the day that she appeared on Larry King Live saying that she intended to become a “better person”. While the amount was not disclosed, Paris’ donation will go towards the creation out a double patient room in the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases. Construction on the new 460,000-sq.-ft. wing is expected to be completed in 2010.

Hilton told press, “I am so happy and fortunate to announce my support for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.  The children I have met through my [involvement] at Childrens Hospital have truly touched my heart.”

“The fabulous new hospital facilities at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles will provide a caring, healing environment for children and their families for many years to come and I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fundraising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious illnesses.”

Ahh, good news about Paris Hilton. Savor it.
