Michael Jackson's mother Katherine has spoken for the first time of her granddaughter Paris's recovery following the teenager's attempted suicide bid in June.

The 15-year-old schoolgirl was rushed to hospital from the family home in Los Angeles after cutting her wrists and swallowing a large number of over-the-counter painkiller Motrin.

She is now being treated in a secluded residential facility that specialises in depression and grief management for troubled youngsters.

 

"She is in a good place, getting the help she needs," says the 83-year-old Jackson family matriarch, who shares legal guardianship of Paris and her brothers, Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11, with her grandson TJ.

"She is doing much better," Katherine told HELLO! from the legendary Encino estate, where she and her husband Joe raised their famous showbiz brood, including daughters Janet and LaToya.

"The treatment is going good, really good. She's my baby. It's hard for me, really hard. All I wanted these kids to be is happy. The night Michael died Paris was crying and said, 'I want to go and see daddy; I don't want to be without him.'"

The solo superstar, whose 1982 hit Thriller is still the best-selling album of all time, died suddenly in his bed on June 25 2009 from an overdose of the surgical anaesthetic propofol. He would have turned 55 this Thursday (29 August).

 

Katherine and Michael's children are suing the entertainment group AEG Live in a wrongful death civil case for a reported $40 billion. Mrs Jackson has been attending Los Angeles Superior Court daily since April, and of the ongoing trial, she said: "I take it one day at a time".

She tells HELLO! she still grieves for her son: "There's not a day goes by that I don't think about him; when I don't shed a tear. He was a very good father, the best. He was a good son, too."

But she admits her style of parenting is different to Michael's. She got rid of the masks the children used to wear when they were in public with their father and stopped the oldest two from being home-schooled.

"They were sheltered a lot when Michael raised them," she admitted. "I had thought about it and I said, 'I am not going to raise them like that (wearing masks). But Michael had a good reason. He was trying to protect them."

Describing the children's personalities, Mrs Jackson said: "The kids are great. They are incredibly polite and that's down to the way Michael brought them up. He instilled good manners but it's a different generation, of course, and I don't understand the whole social media thing. They are always on their phones."

Mrs Jackson returns this week to her hometown of Gary, Indiana, where Michael was born, for a charity tribute charity concert on 29 August.

Paris Jackson lost her soul when her father died ... so said Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe on the stand today, breaking down into tears.

 

Debbie was testified for AEG in the wrongful death lawsuit Thursday, when the subject turned to MJ's 15-year-old daughter and her recent suicide attempt. Debbie said she had been in touch with Paris every day until June 5, when paramedics were called to the Jackson mansion in Calabasas after Paris downed a bunch of Motrin and cut herself with a butcher's knife.

 

Debbie said Paris had been 'devastaded' by her father's death and that's what caused the suicide attempt. Debbie added, "She tried to kill herself ... She has no life. She doesn't feel she has a life anymore."

 

Paris is currently at an undisclosed residential treatment center outside California.

En ny bild av Paris, vilken visar att hon mår bättre. :)

 

Following her June 5 suicide attempt, Paris Jackson is reportedly too fragile to return home. The 15-year-old-daughter of Michael Jackson is said to be transferring to a boarding school for struggling children when she checks out of the psychiatric facility at the UCLA Medical Center.

Hon är på bättringsvägen. Michael Jacksons dotter Paris Jackson, 15, som är på sjukhus sedan ett självmordsförsök den 5 juni, talar till sina fans genom mamman Debbie Rowe.

– Min dotter har bett mig tacka er för alla era tankar, böner och ert stöd, skrev Rowe på Twitter i lördags.

– Hon är stark som sin far, fortsätter hon.

 

I lördags förklarade hennes farbror Jackie Jackson för E! News att Paris Jackson mår betydligt bättre.

– Hon borde få komma hem snart, säger han.

Michael Jackson was worried that he would die while preparing for the comeback tour that he didn't live long enough to take.

 

The late pop singer's oldest son, 16-year-old Prince Jackson, testified on Wednesday in L.A. that his dad often confided in him, although he was only 12, at the time he died in 2009, according to CNN.

 

"After he got off the phone, he would cry," Prince said on the first day of his testimony in his family's lawsuit accusing concert promoter AEG Live of wrongful death. "He would say 'They're going to kill me, they're going to kill me.'"

 

Prince explained that his father was referring to AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips and his ex-manager, Dr. Tohme Tohme.

 

He also testified that Phillips and Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael's former physician who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Michaels' death, had what appeared to be a tense confrontation the night before he died on June 25 of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.

 

Although Prince noted he couldn't hear what was being said, he could see Phillips grabbing Murray's elbow.

 

"It looked aggressive to me," Prince said under oath. "He was grabbing by the back of his elbow and they were really close and he was making hand motions."

 

The teen said under cross-examination from AEG Live's lead lawyer Marvin Putnam that the incident may have taken place a night earlier than he first stated, but reaffirmed what took place.

 

The Associated Press reports Prince testified that, at times, Michael gave him and his 15-year-old sister Paris stacks of $100 bills to give to Murray, which Prince understood to be payment that AEG Live had not yet given the doctor. Murray wouldn't accept the funds from Michael, Prince said.

 

Again, speaking about his father's final hours, Prince revealed that his last words to his dad were exchanged over the phone: Prince called Michael, who was at his final rehearsal for the tour, from the security guard shack outside to notify him that Phillips was at their home, and Michael instructed him to offer Phillips refreshments.

 

Although Prince revealed Michael always received his treatments from Dr. Murray behind his closed bedroom door, he did see Murray perform CPR on Michael while he was hanging off his bed while his eyes appeared to roll back into his head on the day he died.

 

Prince also spoke about his younger siblings, Paris and 11-year-old Blanket, and their life with the "Beat It" singer. He showed photos and video of the family together and insisted that the children didn't comprehend their father's fame until they watched a video of one of his concerts and saw fans taken away on stretchers after they got too excited.

 

"We always listened to his music, but we never knew how famous he was," Prince said.

 

Four years after Michael's death, Prince said Jackson's children — especially Paris — are still suffering. Michael's daughter was hospitalized for a suicide attempt earlier this month, and is currently receiving psychiatric treatment at UCLA Medical Center, although she had been expected to be called to testify in the trial as well.

 

"I think out of all of my siblings she was probably hit the hardest because she was my dad's princess," he said, adding that Paris struggled to cope when she was questioned by AEG Live lawyers in March in preparation for the trial.

 

Prince explained that he also has been affected.

 

"I can't sleep at night," Prince confessed. "I have a hard time sleeping."

 

And because of Michael's death, Prince noted that he was "emotionally distant from a lot of people" for some time, and he missed sharing milestones with his father, such as "the first day of going to school, having the first girlfriend, being able to drive."

 

Of the three Jackson kids, only Blanket still celebrates his birthday, Prince explained, adding, "Right now, I don't know if Blanket realizes what he lost. He was so young. He is still growing up just like I am and he doesn't have a father to guide him."
