Paris Jackson honored her late father, Michael Jackson, on what would have been his 66th birthday.
On her father’s birthday, the 26-year-old posted a touching homage to him by reposting a family photo on her Instagram story. She has always been there for her dad.
This day was not just about remembering a legendary artist but also about celebrating a loving father who left a lasting mark on his children and the world.
Paris’ Instagram story comes after she faced backlash last year for not posting a tribute to her dad. Last year, she shared an Instagram video responding to some of the stuff she was seeing online.
“So today is my dad’s birthday, and back when he was alive, he used to hate anybody acknowledging his birthday. He actually didn’t want us to even know when his birthday was because he didn’t want us to throw a party or anything like that,” she shared.
“That being said, social media is apparently how people express their love and affection these days, and if you don’t wish someone a happy birthday via social media, it apparently means that you don’t love them and you don’t care about them,” the artist continued. “There have been times where I don’t post anything for my dad’s birthday, and people lose their f–king minds.”
