After TMZ alleged that Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson had been hospitalized after trying to take her own life, the 20-year-old reacted on Twitter. Via her official account, the King of Pop's only daughter denied the reports, quashing rumors of a crisis. HOLA! USA learned that Paris did have an incident Saturday morning that required medical treatment. However, she is currently resting at home and doing fine, and any reports of a 5150 hold/suicide attempt are simply untrue.

TMZ reported that police sources revealed that they had recieved a call from Paris' house at 7:30am on Saturday, March 16, and claimed that the late singer's daughter had attempted to end her own life after fallout from the release of Leaving Neverland, a documentary in which her father is accused of molestation.

In 2016 she took to Instagram to make a statement against cyberbullying, talking about her own experience in the process. "I don’t understand how there can be so much hatred in the world right now,” she said, later adding: “I got so much hatred that I tried to kill myself.” In the same clip, “I don’t get why I’m such an easy target. I try to be nice to everyone I meet; I give everyone a chance. I’m usually a very trusting person. I try to be open with you guys about what I do on a daily basis. I share my life with you — I don’t hide a lot. I got so much hatred that I tried to kill myself.”
