Paris Jackson reveals plans for Neverland Ranch
Published: 2013 April 16 01:11:34 (6280 Views)
Paris Jackson has given her first interview since her father Michael's death and reveals how her life has changed since he died.
Paris and her brothers Blanket, 11, and Prince, 16, were kept protectively out of the limelight as her superstar father's life gradually unravelled through his addiction to drugs.
Any public appearances would see the children covered up in masks, and Paris says: "He didn't want anyone to see what we looked like. That way we could have what he didn't, which was a normal childhood."
Paris' mother, dental nurse Debbie Rowe, married Jackson in 1996, but they divorced in 1999 and she signed over all rights to her daughter when she was just three.
Paris was 11 when her dad died and the shock waves of that day still echo years later.
She says: "I have lots of memories of my father. He was incredible. We all loved him to death. He would try to educate us as much as he could and was always looking out for us. He was very protective."
It comes as her father's life and legacy is about to be put under the spotlight like never before.
The King of Pop's family have been at war over his estate and a huge court battle will soon see every aspect of his life and 2009 death raked over.
But for Paris, it isn't the courtroom rows that sadden her the most, but rather her crumbling childhood home.
Her father's beloved Neverland Ranch is now derelict, a far cry from the majestic 3,000-acre estate he created years ago.
If the Jackson family win the lawsuit against the promoters of his final series of concerts, Paris reveals that she aims to turn the sprawling estate, in exclusive Santa Barbara, California, into a haven for sick children.
She reveals that she returned to Neverland, which was abandoned in 2005, two years ago and was horrified to see the Ferris wheel had been removed.
The ranch had previously been home to a fairground and a train track.
Paris says: "I cried and cried. It's beautiful there. It still has good energy."
