Can someone please explain how regularization helps to shrink the " less important " features to zero ? As far as I know , Regularization only penalizes the weights of ALL the features to get them closer to 0 , so that they don't overfit to the training data . But how does it help in feature selection or deal with multicollinearity ?

Can someone please explain this in detail in a more intuitive manner ?
