The star, 28, was rear-ended in her Land Rover by a paparazzo driving a Jeep Cherokee in Beverly Hills just before 2 p.m. on Monday, Lt. Tony Lee told Us.
"She complained of pain," he said, adding that she refused medical care at the scene but is "going to seek her own medical treatment."
According to a witness, Richie went to L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with her mother to be treated for minor injuries.

The driver who rear-ended Richie was arrested and charged with driving without a license, and is in the process of being "physically booked," Lee told Us. Police are still trying to verify his identity.
A police spokesperson could not confirm if anyone was speeding but said that they weren't at a traffic light or intersection.

23Guy who hit her was probably an illegal immigrant.
they already killed someone...princess di
Hope your ok Nicole. So happy your babies were not in the vehicle with you. These paps need to be stopped at all cost before they kill someone. It's ridiculous!!
Bellaluna (8.54 PM), The Paparazzo was the one who drove without a licence, not Nicole. She turns to be a nice, cleaned person since she pregnant with her first baby. She is very concerned about her children. Please read again the article!!!
To Every Hollywood fool out there who thinks it okay to drug a 13 year old, then ply her with alcohol and then sodomize and rape her and you are in your 40's, I say this, you suck and you are sick!
"A STAR", article calls her. WHY? What a joke. She's NOT "a star". How? She was on some tacky reality show years ago with Hilton and she's Lionel Richie's adopted daughter and THAT'S IT. That consititues her being "a star"? Hilarious. I like her, and glad she has straightened her life out, and hope she is not injured by this accident, but she's just a person who happens to be in the tabloids. She's not even an actor, it was a reality show. What has she done? Not an actor, not a singer, why is she even a celebrity for any reason? Why does any one care?
i hope she is OK and thankfully her kids weren't in the car!
let's pray Nicole is alright. there is NO need for paparazzi to be so stupid. didn't they learn their lesson when Princess Diana died? Yes, I want to hear celebrity news and see pictures, but not at the price of a person losing their life or being injured. There should be more laws to protect celebs from the paparazzi. that was just plain stalking. thank goodness her children weren't in the car.
Paparazzi are such PIGS! Thank God the babies weren't in the car!
This is CRAP! Her children could have been in that car!!! Those babies could have been seriously injured! ENOUGH WITH THE PAPARAZZI! They need to be outlawed at the very least from driving a car. ENOUGH!
This is bulsh*T! Her children could have been in that car!!! Those babies could have been seriously injured! ENOUGH WITH THE PAPARAZZI! They need to be outlawed at the very least from driving a car. ENOUGH!
They should create another law making it a higher crime when an accident is caused in pursuit of private person by a citizen not a police officer. Special sercomstances added for paparazzi.
It's one thing for the paps to take pictures when celebrities are leaving a bar, restaurant, their house, etc. It's another thing to deliberately follow them in a vehicle and stalk them. It is not ok for them to do that, especially when they cause and accident by following too closely.
Geez, just what she needs less than a month after having a baby! Driving without a license? What an a$$!
Didn't she get in trouble for driving drunk once? It's interesting that she got in an accident. Still I wouldn't wish harm on anyone.
I hope she is ok,and im so glad her babies werent in the car at the time.
What is it going to take for the paparazzo to get some limits imposed on them? Glad the babies were not in the car.
Complained of pain? The hit probably snapped one of her twiggy little limbs in half.
obama haves 3 yrs and a couple of months left and he has not done sh!t that is what the people get for voting black
I hope she is OK. Poor thing. Not a huge fan, but it must be scary for her to have to get in a car accident. Exspecially, in a GORGEOUS car(haha). Hope you feel better!
