Near-tragedy befell Paris Hilton at a Miami club last night. The heiress was dancing, Page Six reports, and got so into her moves that she flung off her $2 million pear-shaped diamond engagement ring from Chris Zylka. Hilton was (understandably) hysterical when she realized her giant diamond was gone!!!

Context: the venue was industrial, former soda factory RC Cola Plant at Mana Wynwood, a nearly 50,000-square-foot venue with a 7,000-person capacity, witnesses told Page Six. The diamond on Hilton's ring is for sure huge, but the place was giant, dark, and filled with people (some of whom would take the ring for themselves).

There was an exhaustive search of the VIP area, "led by an astonishingly calm Zylka, 32, and an army of security, while distraught Hilton, 37, waited nervously in floods of tears," Page Six wrote.

"She was really panicked as the venue was packed and very dark, it was the early hours of the morning and it was crazy in there," a source told the outlet. "Security started an exhaustive search of the VIP area with torches, led by Chris and with the help of other patrons. There was a frantic scramble with everyone looking for it, people were crawling on the floor, under tables, under other people's feet, and under seats. Miraculously they found the ring in an ice bucket two tables down." Thank goodness!! Hilton did describe the ring to People when she announced her engagement as "so gorgeous and sparkling. I was shaking as I put it on. It is the most beautiful ring that I have ever seen!"

The tears did not stop after Hilton was reunited with her ring though. "Paris cried with relief when it was safely back on her finger," the source said. On social media, Hilton hasn't posted a thing about the episode. Some bad nights just aren't meant for Instagram.
