Reunited: Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie spend some time together at the Victoria's Secret 15th Swimsuit Anniversary at Trousdale Nightclub


It's been quite some time since they were pictured, and you could be forgiven for thinking the BFFs had fallen out with each other again.

But Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have been spotted with one another at the Victoria's Secret 15th Swimsuit Anniversary at Trousdale Nightclub in Beverly Hills.

The socialites first made a name for themselves when they starred in the TV series The Simple Life, where they had to give up their lifestyles to work in everyday jobs and live with normal families.

Nicole, 28, and Paris, 29, have known each other since childhood but they fell out in early 2005.

At the time, the reasons for the dispute were never disclosed by either party, although Paris said:'Nicole knows what she did, and that's all I'm ever going to say about it.'

While Nicole explained to Vanity Fair: 'When I got out of rehab, I had to figure out what path to go down, and part of that included taking certain people out of my life.

'I just decided I didn't want to be her (Hilton's) friend anymore. We're just two completely different people; we don't have that much in common.'

The two have remained distant since, although it had been reported that their feud had come to an end.

In the meantime, Nicole Richie has had two children, while Paris has been spending time promoting her various products around the world, and dating boyfriend Doug Reinhardt.

It wasn't until the death of their mutual friend Casey Johnson that the two friends finally patched up their differences and realised the importance of their friendship.

In January this year, Hilton told Life & Style magazine: 'On such a sad day it brought a smile to my face to at least have one dear friend back in my life.

'I haven't seen Nicole in a long time, and she's been so busy with having her two babies.'

Coincedentally, Hilton also crossed paths with her ex-boyfriend Benji Madden - twin brother of Nicole's fiance Joel.

Paris dated the Good Charlotte rocker for nine months, but they split in November 2008.

The Madden brothers were DJing at the party and Paris spent a while talking to her ex before she partied with Nicole.

Also present were Miranda Kerr, Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Brand and Jeremy Piven.
