LOS ANGELES — Paris Jackson, the 15-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson, was rushed to a Los Angeles-area hospital Wednesday after an apparent suicide attempt, her mother said, but her family later reported she is “physically fine.”
“Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention,” Perry Sanders, an attorney for Paris’ grandmother, Katherine Jackson, said in a statement.
“Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are,” the statement added. “It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you.”
Pop singer Michael Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 from a lethal dose of propofol.
Paris’ mother, Debbie Rowe, told “Entertainment Tonight” that her daughter attempted suicide and had “a lot going on.”
“We appreciate everyone’s thoughts for Paris at this time and their respect for the family’s privacy,” Rowe’s attorney said in a statement.
