Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson sparked concern on Wednesday while taking a walk in Malibu.
The 27-year-old model and musician became visibly emotional and appeared to burst into tears during her solo stroll.
The outing comes at a difficult time for Paris, just weeks after the 16th anniversary of her famous father’s death and following fan backlash over her scheduled performance that day.
Dressed for the sunny weather, Paris wore a brown short-sleeve shirt, grey biking shorts, and a pair of chunky sneakers with grey socks.
She also accessorized with a number of bracelets and necklaces. Her platinum blonde tresses were pulled into a messy ponytail.
Last month Paris also seemed to be showing the strain when she was spotted on a tense outing with her fiancé Justin Long, 46, in Malibu.

Paris’ iconic father Michael died on June 25, 2009 at age 50 from acute Propofol intoxication, which caused the singer to go into cardiac arrest.
Last month the daughter of Debbie Rowe fired back at her fans via Instagram Stories, after they criticized her for having a performance on the day of his death anniversary.
According to an account from People, Paris said to her five million followers, ‘So people are mad again. I guess one of the dates I’m supposed to be going out on tour (with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra) happens to be June 25, which is a very negative anniversary for me in my life and my family.’
She continued in the video post, ‘So, what I guess I have to explain to these people is that when you’re not headlining these shows, you don’t pick what date you perform.’
The blonde music artist also underscored that she is not getting lavish accommodations as an opening act.
‘It’s just me and my acoustic guitar and my sound guy, who happens to be my fiancé,’ she said in reference to her husband-to-be, Justin. ‘So we’re gonna be in a soccer mom van.’
Paris noted that she volunteered to be part of the tour and wouldn’t step down over the date.
‘So, I’m gonna tell ’em, “Sorry, guys, we can’t perform on this date?”‘ she posited, facetiously, adding, ‘F*** you.’
The songstress also reposted, via Instagram Stories, what appeared to be a comment or caption from a fan account.

The nepo baby of the iconic music artist — who died June 25, 2009 at age 50 — also reposted via Instagram Stories, a comment from a fan account
It read in part, ‘Note to admins: It is unacceptable to judge someone else’s pain and grief based on information from the internet.
‘Judging Paris’ respect for her father from an outside perspective is unfair. June 25 may intensify our pain as fans, but she lives with the loss of her father daily.’
Paris added a simple response: ‘thx fam.’
In March it was announced by Incubus that Jackson and Manchester Orchestra would be hitting the road with them for their Morning View + The Hits tour throughout the US and UK.
On June 25 – the 16th anniversary of Michael’s death – the tour was in Nashville, Tennessee.
Michael had three children including Paris with his second wife Debbie, including Prince, 28, and Bigi, 23.
Ahead of the anniversary last month Paris was also seen tearing up before her fiancé Justin tried to comfort her with an embrace.
Earlier this month she posed topless in a racy Instagram snap alongside Justin in California.
Paris looked relaxed as she enjoyed the sunshine and a dip in the water with the producer.
In another snap, she smiled for a selfie with her partner, who she got engaged to in December after two years of dating.
She captioned one of the stories ‘home sweet California’, in reference to growing up in the state on her late father’s Neverland ranch.
Paris and Justin met in 2022 and their relationship was professional before it was romantic.

‘Happy birthday my sweet blue,’ she wrote in a birthday tribute announcing their engagement last December.
She added, ‘Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind, and I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with. Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.’
According to his LinkedIn Justin attended college in Indiana at Grace College & Seminary, where he graduated in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and business administration.
He transitioned to music full-time in 2013 and has worked with artists including Grace Potter, The Wombats and Sleater-Kinney.
