Nicole Richie has been granted a temporary restraining order against two photographers accused of crashing into her car in early October.

Richie was treated in hospital after the October 5 accident, which took place just a month after she gave birth to Sparrow, her second child with partner Joel Madden.

The paparazzi, Ivon Miguel and Bam Bam, have been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Richie and have no contact with her, her children or her staff, following a court hearing in Los Angeles on Friday.

In a court declaration, Richie complained she is harassed "on a daily basis", accusing the two photographers of "stalking our home, as we try to go about living our lives".

A second hearing will take place in November to determine if the restraining order should be made permanent, reports TMZ.com.
