Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris attempted suicide after a blazing family row.
Paris said she wanted to break free from her famous family and take control of her own life before her suicide attempt, it has been claimed.
A source close to the teenager said that Paris wanted to be free of her family guardians after suffering from depression 'for some time' and felt 'unloved' following the death of her father in June four years ago.
The 15-year-old is said to have “flipped out” and screamed at a relative who stopped her going to a concert.
She locked herself in her room, then reportedly cut her arm with a cleaver and took an overdose of painkillers. It is claimed she left a note and rang a suicide hotline.
An alarmed counsellor dialled 911 and paramedics rushed to the Jackson family home and took Paris away on a stretcher at 2am local time yesterday. She was recovering in hospital last night.
The suicide bid was confirmed by her mum Debbie Rowe, 54, who said Paris had “a lot going on”. It came just weeks before the fourth anniversary of Jacko’s death.
Paris is believed to have self-harmed in the past and has been pictured with scratch marks on her inner arm. She is also said to have made previous cries for help.
Paris lives in Calabasas, California, with her grand mother, brothers Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11, and Katherine’s nephew Trent.
The kids’ cousin TJ shares custody with Katherine, and Jacko’s siblings Randy, 51, La Toya, 57, and Janet, 47, often visit.
A source added: “All the family have opinions on what is best for the kids. It drives Prince and Paris crazy.” Paris has also recently spent more time with her mum Debbie, Jacko’s ex-wife — against the Jackson clan’s wishes.
A lawyer for Katherine said last night: “Paris is physically fine. Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are.
“It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you.”
Jackson brothers Jackie, Marlon and Tito said: “Paris is safe and doing fine.”
Some friends said the teenager had recently become a Marilyn Manson fan and was desperate to go to the gig in Los Angeles tonight.
She had also started listening to troubled musicians such as Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who killed himself in 1994.
