Hello Friends!

Michael Jackson's mother Katherine has said her granddaughter, Paris, is ‘doing much better’ after her suicide bid in June.

The 15-year-old schoolgirl was rushed to hospital from the family home in Los Angeles after cutting her wrists and swallowing a large number of over-the-counter painkillers and is now being treated in a secluded residential facility which specializes in helping troubled youngsters.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine Mrs Jackson said:’She is in a good place, getting the help she needs.’

The 83-year-old Jackson family matriarch shares legal guardianship of Paris and her brothers, Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11, with her grandson TJ.

She continued about her granddaughter: ‘She is doing much better.

‘The treatment is going good, really good. She's my baby. It's hard for me, really hard. All I wanted these kids to be is happy. The night Michael died Paris was crying and said 'I want to go and see Daddy, I don't want to be without him'.’

But she admits her style of parenting is different from his - and she has got rid of the masks the children famously used to wear.

She said: ‘They were sheltered a lot when Michael raised them.

‘I had thought about it and I said 'I am not going to raise them like that (wearing masks). But Michael had a good reason. He was trying to protect them.’

She said the children were ‘incredibly polite’ and that was down to the pop superstar.

She said: ‘He instilled good manners but it's a different generation, of course, and I don't understand the whole social media thing. They are always on their phones.’

Paris was rushed to hospital in June of his year.
At the time a lawyer for Katherine alluded to how Paris is still coming to terms with the loss of her father Michael Jackson, four years after his death.

'Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are.' Perry Sanders said in a statement to MailOnline.
'It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention,' Mr Sanders added
