A fake tweet alleging to be from Paris Hilton in which she confuses Nelson Mandela for Martin Luther King, Jr. was spread online by a Twitter account called @DeletedTweets.
According to Hilton's publicist, she was on a flight for five hours and was not online when news of Mandela's death broke.
@DeletedTweets has tweeted eight times so far, and all the tweets are fake.
Update: Hilton tweeted about Mandela's death and responded to the fake tweet.
