Oscar Pistorius has been released from prison on parole, a day earlier than expected.

Pistorius was released on Monday and is now at home with family under correctional supervision after serving less than a year behind bars for the 2013 shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

He had been due to be released on Tuesday.

The Paralympian was sentenced to five years in prison last September after being found guilty of culpable homicide for the killing on Valentine's Day the previous year.

The parole board has said Pistorius would serve correctional supervision for exactly four years after his release from prison.
