Paris Jackson's godfather Mark Lester wants her to spend the summer in the UK with him.
Lester, a close friend of the late Michael Jackson, is urging the 15-year-old aspiring actress to jet over to England and spend the summer holidays with his family as he believes it will do her good following her recent alleged suicide attempt, reported Hello magazine.
"If I could speak to her now, I would say, 'We are coming up to the summer holiday. Come over to the UK and hang out with us for a while.' My three daughters, who have known her for such a long time, will be very, very, very protective of her," Lester said.
"I am very, very surprised she would attempt to hurt herself. I feel very sad, not only for Paris - because she must be in a very agitated and depressed state - but also for Michael's mother, Katherine, who has been doing a pretty good job looking after those kids," the 54-year-old former child actor said.
