Nicole Richie is being treated in hospital for pneumonia.

Lionel’s daughter admitted herself to the famous Hollywood Cedars Sinai clinic yesterday and is responding well to treatment according to her publicist.

The former star of The Simple Life has two children with Good Charlotte star Joel Madden- two month old Sparrow and one year old Harlow.

Earlier this week the 28 year old hit the headlines earlier this week when she was granted a restraining order against two photographers.
