Paris, the 22-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson, has paid tribute to the King of Pop with video footage that has not been seen to mark 11 years since his death.
Hit maker Billie Jean and Thriller died in 2009 after suffering a fatal heart attack at a Los Angeles hospital.
And, 11 years later, the only daughter of Michael and the oldest of his three children, Paris Jackson, has released new images of the singer from his home life.
The video also features her own music, which is part of a teaser for her new reality series Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn, which will premiere on Facebook Watch next week, June 30.

Michael is briefly seen chatting with his daughter at his family’s mansion in the trailer.
Conspiracy theories have previously suggested that Michael is not the biological father of his three children, but the Smooth Criminal singer always insisted that he was.

He also has two children, Michael Joseph Jr, 23, and Prince, 18.
Paris and Michael Jr were born to mother Debbie Rowe.
He previously said that Michael was upset after his separation from wife Lisa Marie Presley that he could never become a father, so he proposed having their children.

In 1996, it was announced that she was pregnant and they married later that year.
They divorced in 1999 and Michael took full responsibility for raising the children.
Michael’s youngest son Prince, better known as Blanket, was born through a surrogate, whose identity has never been known.

Despite Michael’s insistence that he is the father, many people believe he is not.
In the video, Paris says she tried to protect herself from the public eye due to her father’s fame, and admits she wasn’t ready to be the center of attention at the time.
Her father tragically died when she was 11 years old.

But now, Paris feels like she’s ready to “let the world in.”
“You see a child grow up in public view, you forget that I am a human,” he explains.
“I was against letting the world in because it wasn’t a choice. I wasn’t ready then. I feel like I’m ready now.”
Michael is also heard talking about what Paris wants to do when he grows up in the rare images.

“What does Paris want to be?” As she responds, “I do what you do.”
And the loving father asks, “What do I do?” And she says, “You dance and sing.”
The video also shows her with boyfriend Gabe as they sing music together as part of their duet The Soundflowers.
“When I met Gabe, I immediately vibrated and started making music,” he says of the collaboration.
Meanwhile, Gabe says, “For the first time, he’s letting out his honest voice.”
Paris added: “I feel like we have the same level of damage. Gabe understands the pain I’ve been through in my life and has helped me realize that that’s what I was born for.”
