Paris Jackson Denies Attempted Suicide Claim By TMZ

LOS ANGELES (CBLSA) – Paris Jackson lashed out at TMZ after the online tabloid reported Michael Jackson's only daughter was hospitalized after allegedly attempting suicide.

Sources told TMZ that Paris Jackson was rushed to the hospital after police and EMS responded to the 20-year-old model's Los Angeles home around 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

Paris fired back against TMZ Saturday afternoon.

Officials have not confirmed the incident.

But CBS2/KCAL9's Cristy Fajardo said while there were conflicting reports, she did witness Jackson in the passenger seat of a car that drove by.

Jackson smiled, gave an eye-roll to some paparazzi and appeared upbeat and healthy. She even flashed the "hang loose" sign.

The LAPD would only say they were called to the location on Hillside Avenue at around 7:30 a.m. on the report of an attempted suicide. They would not say if Jackson was the patient.

Later in the day, People Magazine quoted a source that said Jackson had an accident inside her home that required medical treatment.

In recent days, Jackson has been lashing out on social media about  "Leaving Neverland" -- a documentary that interviews two men who allege Michael Jackson sexually molested them, repeatedly, when they were young boys.

Paris Jackson is reportedly home and resting.
