From the moment she was born, Paris Jackson saw her father as the best dad anyone could ever have. At just 11, she expressed her deep love in an emotional speech at his funeral.
Losing her father at such a young age was devastating. Paris and her brothers suddenly found themselves in the public eye, with the media eager to capture glimpses of Michael Jackson through them. Michael had always protected their privacy, but his passing brought intense attention.
After his death, Paris and her siblings were placed under the legal guardianship of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson. Paris lived with her grandmother until she was 19, then moved into her father’s private studio, turning it into a dorm-style bedroom.
Now 23, Paris opened up in a YouTube interview with Naomi Campbell. She spoke about her modeling career, latest album, and how her father raised her.
“He made sure we were cultured,” Paris shared, highlighting the values Michael instilled in them. Despite the challenges, Paris carries her father’s legacy while carving out her own path.
