Paris Jackson's grandmother, Katherine Jackson, released the following statement: "Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are. It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention. Please respect her privacy and the family's privacy."

Paris Jackson is in a Los Angeles hospital following an early morning suicide attempt.
Details are scant, but her mother, Debbie Rowe, confirmed the sad news, telling "Entertainment Tonight" that her 15-year-old daughter was rushed to the hospital with cuts on her wrist.
The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that a call came from the Jackson family's home in the L.A. suburb of Calabasas Wednesday at 1:15 a.m. The caller said there had been an overdose. According to the 911 call, the victim had taken an excessive amount of Motrin and tried to slice her wrists with a kitchen knife.
For the past several weeks, her late father, Michael, has been the subject of a wrongful death trial playing out in downtown L.A., pitting her grandmother, Katherine Jackson, against concert behemoth AEG Live Michael's drug use has been a focal point of the proceedings.
Both Paris and her older brother, Prince, were among the witnesses expected to be called for the case.
Paris had been active on social media in the days leading up to today's troubling event. She chronicled what seemed like a normal teenage life tweeting about music, cheerleading, and summer vacation, along with a May 31 YouTube makeup tutorial. LOOD Naija
