Duff's dad walks from jail after one day

Hilary Duff's father has been released from prison just a day after he was jailed over a bitter court row with his estranged wife over their famous daughter's 21st birthday party.

Bob Duff was released from a Texas jail on Thursday after being ordered to spend up to 10 days in there for contempt of court and pay $12,500 (€6,761) to his ex-wife for the star's 21st birthday party and a present.

Susan and Bob Duff are currently in the middle of a two-and-a-half year divorce battle.

Duff was also ordered to pay the $367,537 (€204,187) he earned from selling stocks last month into a court repository.
