Lindsay's mother Dina told RadarOnline.com that her passport was stolen and she was turned away from a flight back to the United States on Tuesday.
"This was not a planned scheme," she said.
The U.S. Embassy confirmed that Lindsay faxed a copy of her passport to their Paris embassy but has not specifically requested a new one.

According to the Duty Officer, neither Lindsay nor her mother Dina have contacted the Embassy, but a representative of hers from the United States phoned the Embassy in Paris at 6:25pm local time.
The Embassy closed at 6pm local time but the representative spoke to an after hours staffer.
Nabatti told RadarOnline.com that even though she has not received a request for the new passport, she has contacted the Consul to alert them of Lindsay's situation.

"There is nothing we can do this late," Nabatti told RadarOnline.com.
According to the Embassy, Lindsay needs to fill out the paperwork to get a temporary passport. That paperwork cannot be obtained until Thursday morning.
Danette Meyers, the Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles who is handling Lindsay's case, told RadarOnline.com that she will seek to jail Lindsay for up to 180 if she is found to be in violation of her probation.
Lindsay's mother Dina insisted this was not an excuse for Lindsay to get out of the court hearing on Thursday in Los Angeles.
"I'm exhausted... I've been up for the last 24 hours with Lindsay and her attorneys dealing with this," she told RadarOnline.com earlier on Wednesday.
"We are actively dealing with the French Embassy as we speak but unfortunately they close at a certain hour so we¹re trying to get someone in a higher echelon to help us."
