Paris Jackson was just 11 when she tearfully expressed her love for her late father, Michael Jackson, at his funeral. His passing thrust her and her brothers into intense media attention, despite his efforts to protect their privacy. Raised by their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, Paris later moved into her father’s private studio.

Now a model and musician, Paris, 23, opened up about her life in a YouTube interview with Naomi Campbell. She credits Michael for teaching her about hard work and culture, despite his fame and fortune.

Though she struggled with self-esteem and personal challenges, Paris has found success in music and modeling. She honors her father through tattoos and says she still feels his presence every day.
