Beverly Hills police Lt. Mike Hill says the 28-year-old Richie was driving a Land Rover on Wilshire Blvd. on Monday when she was rear-ended by a photographer who was driving without a licence.

Hill says Richie complained of pain but said she would seek her own treatment and no ambulance was called.

He also says the 29-year-old photographer, Edwardo Arrivebene, was arrested on suspicion of driving without a licence.

Hill did not know if there were any passengers in either vehicle.

Richie became a clothing and accessories designer after starring with Paris Hilton on "The Simple Life."
