We're glad to see these two returning safe and sound to Los Angeles!

Paris Hilton and boyfriend River Viiperi traveled to Lake Tahoe for her birthday weekend (she turned 32 on Sunday), but unfortunately their romantic ski vacay was cut short when River hurt himself on the slopes!

Viiperi was taken to a local hospital after falling and cutting his leg open, and P tweeted, "Such a scary day on the slopes today. After seeing the gash on River's leg, I almost passed out. I have never seen a cut that deep in my life. He is so brave, I can't even imagine the pain he went through today."

River thanked his ladylove for "always taking such good care of me." He added, "Love U... Thank u tweeps 4 the kind words! 12 days W/ (with) stitches then back 2 'almost normal' this sucks but could have been worse. Thankful. Goodnight."

Get better!
