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.’

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.’

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.
