"It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers," said Hilton's publicist, Elliot Mintz.
"Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows," he added.
It is not known who will replace Hilton at the Las Vegas ceremony.
