Paris Hilton Finds 'Peace' as Utah Boarding School Where She Was Allegedly Abused Shuts Down

'We Will Not Stop'

"Today, I can finally say the words I’ve been fighting to say for years: Provo Canyon School is officially shut down," Hilton said Friday

Paris Hilton is finally at “peace” after the Provo, Utah boarding school where she was allegedly abused as a teenager has shut down. “This horrific chapter of abuse, neglect, and trauma has finally come to an end,” she said in a statement Friday.

On July 17, nearly two weeks after the Utah Department of Health and Human services (DHHS) revoked the licenses for the Provo Canyon School, the school’s boys and girls campuses officially shut down, ending a years-long effort by Hilton and other survivors for accountability.

“Today, I can finally say the words I’ve been fighting to say for years: Provo Canyon School is officially shut down,” Hilton said in a statement Friday. “Over the past two weeks, the Utah Department of Health and Human Services determined that both the boys’ and girls’ campuses were not safe for the children in their care. Today means no child will ever have to endure what we did at Provo Canyon School again.”
