Paris Jackson was rushed to
hospital in the early hours of Wednesday after an apparent suicide bid. Her
mother Debbie Rowe is understood to have confirmed the reports to Entertainment
Tonight and said the 15-year-old is currently at a Los Angeles hospital. A
lawyer for Katherine Jackson, Paris’ grandmother, also weighed in with a
statement. 'She's suffered with the loss of her father,' Perry Sanders told the
New York Daily News. 'But we don't know what she was exposed to that
precipitated this.' Paris, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, was taken
from her Calabasas family home on a stretcher at around 2am and conveyed to a
nearby hospital, according to TMZ.
Scott Miller of the Los Angeles County Fire Department tells People Magazine
that paramedics responded to a 911 call at 1.27am 'regarding a possible
overdose' while TMZ reports a source as saying the teenager had cut
herself multiple times on one of her wrists. Insiders told Entertainment
Tonight Paris was upset because she was not allowed to go
to a Marilyn Manson concert in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The incident
unfolded just hours after the teenager posted a series of alarming messages on
Twitter. Around midnight she recited the sorrowful Beatles’ song Yesterday to her
million plus followers, writing: 'Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away,
now it looks as though they’re here to stay. An hour previously, she posted: 'I
wonder why tears are salty.' The 911 call came in at 1.27am local time,
according to TMZ and the website reports Paris is now 'doing ok'. Paris’s
mother Debbie told Entertainment Tonight how her daughter is going through a
difficult time at present and 'has a lot going on'. The teen was listed as a
potential witness in a massive lawsuit currently being brought by the Jackson
family against AEG – the concert promoters behind her late father Michael’s
doomed tour This Is It. The family, who want $40 billion, say superstar Michael
died from an overdose of prescription drugs after a punishing schedule of
rehearsals prior to the tour. The trial which began in LA in April is scheduled
to last three months. Paris’s older brother Prince, 16, is also prepared to
take the witness stand. Michael Jackson died in June 2009 aged 50 after suffering
a heart attack brought on from an overdose of propofol and benzodiazepine.
