Michael Jackson‘s 15-year-old daughter, Paris, has been hospitalized in Los Angeles following a suicide attempt, her mother, Debbie Rowe, confirmed.
Jackson was taken to the hospital early Wednesday (June 5) morning, and though there are several conflicting reports, the Los Angeles County Fire department confirmed that 911 was called at 1:15 a.m. PT about a possible overdose. According to a report from “Entertainment Tonight,” who spoke with Rowe, Paris reportedly had cuts on her wrists when authorities arrived.
Yet another source added that the teen attempted suicide after she learned she couldn’t go to a Marilyn Manson concert at the Gibson Amphitheater on June 6.
Rowe told “ET” that her daughter has had “a lot going on [lately].” This month marks the four-year anniversary of Jackson’s death; the pop icon died on June 25, 2009. Paris is one of Jackson’s three children; she lives with older brother, Prince, 16, and younger brother, Blanket, 11, at the home of Michael’s mother, Katherine Jackson.
MTV News has reached out to the Jackson camp for comment, but had yet to hear back at press time.
In the hours before the reported suicide attempt, the teen was on social media, sending out tweets, including a quote from the Beatles’ 1965 song “Yesterday.” She wrote, “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they’re here to stay.” She went on to add several other cryptic messages, including, “I wonder why tears are salty?” and “that conversation escalated quickly.”
A lawyer for Rowe, Eric George, released a statement, saying, “We appreciate everyone’s thoughts for Paris at this time and their respect for the family’s privacy.” According to href=”http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc924805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tmz.com%2F2013%2F06%2F05%2Fparis-jackson-hospitalized-attempted-suicide-911-call%2F%23ixzz2VMWjSRlV” target=”_blank”>TMZ, Paris “tried this [possible suicide attempt] in the past” but “this was far more serious. It was not a cry for help.”
