Sienna Miller has accepted 15,000 pounds of damages in an out-of-court settlement of her privacy action against the Daily Star over a paparazzi photo.

The 26-year-old star had brought proceedings over the publication of a picture of her on September 11 this year.

Her lawyers, Carter-Ruck, said that it had also been agreed that she should receive her costs, an undertaking and an apology in the newspaper.

It read: "On 11th September we published an article about the actress Sienna Miller. The article was accompanied by a photograph of Sienna in a building in Los Angeles. We accept, as we said in the article, that Ms Miller was extremely harassed and distressed by persistent pursuit and intimidating tactics adopted by numerous paparazzi in seeking to obtain photographs of her, including the very photograph that we published. We apologise to Sienna for publishing this photograph."
