Los Angeles: Paris Jackson, daughter of the late superstar Michael Jackson, struck down rumors that she attempted suicide Saturday, assailing "liars" in an expletive-laden tweet.Celebrity news website TMZ initially ran the report saying Jackson, a 20-year-old model, was hospitalized after a suicide attempt at her Los Angeles home.Without providing additional details a police spokesman told AFP that units from Hollywood responded to an "attempt suicide" requiring an ambulance, at about 7:30 am, after which the "subject was transported to a local hospital."Jackson has been open about her struggles with mental health. She attempted to kill herself in 2013, and told Rolling Stone magazine she had previously attempted suicide "multiple times."Saturday´s rumors follow weeks of fallout over a documentary detailing pedophilia accusations against Michael Jackson, who died in 2009 of an overdose.The model tweeted recently it was "not my role" to defend her father´s legacy, saying other family members were carrying the torch and she supports them."I´m just tryna get everyone to chill out and go with the flow, be mellow and think about the bigger picture. that´s me," Jackson tweeted.In a later tweet she said "my father handled his trials and tribulations with grace, peace, and love. it´s a more effective way of life. i suggest we all take that as an example."A number of radio stations from Australia to Canada have shelved Jackson´s catalogue in light of the "Leaving Neverland" documentary.French luxury brand Louis Vuitton dropped Jackson-themed clothing on Thursday from a collection it had shown at Paris Fashion Week in January, saying it found the "allegations in the documentary deeply troubling and disturbing."
