Paris Jackson was rushed to hospital in the early hours of Wednesday amid reports of an attempted suicide.
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 appeared to confirm the suicide bid.
‘She’s
suffered with the loss of her father,’ the lawyer told the New York
Daily News. ‘But we don’t know what she was exposed to that precipitated
this.’
Hospital
drama: Paris Jackson, pictured here earlier this month in West
Hollywood, was rushed to hospital in the early hours of Wednesday
morning
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.
The drama 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.
