MICHAEL Jackson's daughter Paris is 'doing fine' according to her uncles, after an apparent suicide attempt.

An attorney for Katherine Jackson, Perry Sanders Jr, said Paris Jackson is getting appropriate medical attention and the family is seeking privacy.

'Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are,' he wrote. 'It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention. Please respect her privacy and the family's privacy.'

Sanders declined further comment on Paris' condition or the circumstances that led to her hospitalisation.

Fire and sheriff's officials confirmed they transported someone from a home in Paris' suburban Calabasas neighborhood for a possible overdose but did not release any identifying information or additional details.
Paris frequently posts messages about her life on Twitter, where she has more than a million followers.

One of her most recent posts was from the Beatles' song 'Yesterday': 'yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they're here to stay.' Another post included the question, 'I wonder why tears are salty?'

A 20-minute video of the teen applying makeup was posted to YouTube last week. Paris says on Twitter she doesn't know ho.
