Hilton loses ring in club flub

-

PARIS Hilton lost her $2 million engagement ring (inset) while partying at a huge Miami club — and the hysterical heiress had security scour the venue until the enormous diamond was finally discovered in an ice bucket at another VIP table.

The 20-carat diamond engagement ring from fiancé Chris Zylka flew off Hilton’s finger into the packed crowd while she danced in the early hours of Friday to a set by British DJs Above & Beyond at industrial RC Cola Plant, a former soda factory, at Mana Wynwood — a nearly 50,000-square-foot venue.

After an exhaustive search of the VIP area, led by an astonishin­gly calm Zylka and an army of security, while distraught Hilton waited nervously in a flood of tears, her giant rock was miraculous­ly found in an ice bucket two tables down from where Paris had been partying. Hilton told us later, “It was literally one of the scariest moments of my life. I was devastated! I thought there was no way we were going to be able to find it with all of those people [in the venue]. “The ring was just so heavy and big that while I was dancing it literally flew off my finger into an ice bucket a couple of tables over. Thank God, by some miracle, my fiancé found it before someone else did — and most likely would not have returned it. I am so lucky! Thank goodness I have amazing karma!”

A witness told us, “Paris was dancing with her hands in the air, and the next minute her giant ring had flown off. She was really panicked, as the venue was packed and very dark, it was the early hours of the morning, and it was crazy in there,” adding, “people were crawling on the floor, under tables, under other people’s feet and under seats.

“Paris cried with relief when it was safely back on her finger,” said the source.

The socialite turned top DJ is in Miami for the city’s music week, and is spinning at the SLS Hotel in South Beach on Saturday night.
