Don’t worry kids, Nicole Richie is ok. But she did get banged up in a car accident Monday when a tailgating photographer got way too close.

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 offending pap was arrested for driving without a license.
