A lawyer for Katherine Jackson added that things have been especially hard for her client's granddaughter since Michael Jackson's death.
"Being a sensitive 15 year old is difficult no matter who you are. It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you," the lawyer stated. "Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention."
UPDATE, 2:30 p.m. ET:
Katherine Jackson's lawyer, Perry Sanders, tells USA TODAY: "Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are. It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention. Please respect her privacy and the family's privacy."
Paris recently rekindled her relationship with Rowe, and has been spending time with her for the first time since Michael and Debbie divorced in 1999. Mom and daughter were spotted celebrating Paris' 15th birthday at Ahi Sushi in Studio City, Calif., on April 3.
ET also reports that the teen was ticked off about not being able to go to a June 6 Marilyn Manson concert.
Rowe's lawyer, Eric George, issued a statement to USA TODAY that said, "We appreciate everyone's thoughts for Paris at this time and the respect for the family's privacy."
