Actor Leonardo DiCaprio was assaulted by a woman at a party hosted by Rick Salomon (Paris Hilton's ex, who starred with the hotel heiress in their notorious sex video) at his Hollywood Hills home.

In a statement released to People magazine (on its website), the Oscar-nominated actor's publicist, Ken Sunshine, says: "While leaving a small private gathering, Leo was attacked by a woman who was trespassing and had been repeatedly asked to leave the property. The attacker struck him with a glass object before being restrained by witnesses. The woman was reportedly looking for an ex-boyfriend, who she had apparently physically assaulted on prior occasions."

The actor was in LA taking a break from the shooting of the Martin Scorcese-directed movie "The Departed" being filmed in Boston and New York.
