Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, is supporting others on a path of sobriety.
“Getting sober ain’t always the indication that life is perfect,” Paris, 27, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 3, sharing a montage of moments from the past year. “A few years in, it all got very very hard for what felt like an eternity.”
She continued, “I didn’t have the same survival skills I was used to having to cope. I had to learn to live life on life’s terms.”
Paris, who stopped drinking alcohol in 2020, also reflected on various mental health struggles she’s faced since then.
Stars Who've Gotten Sober
“Treatment resistant major depressive disorder is a bitch, so is [PTSD] and OCD,” she wrote. “If you’ve got this s*** or anything of the sort, you’re not alone. Hang in there and if no one’s told you they love you today, I love you.”
Paris’ candid message struck a chord with many of her celebrity friends in the comments section.
“Struggled with OCD my whole entire life. I understand it completely,” musician J.T. Hiskey replied. “You are amazing and so proud of you always!”
Influencer Crystal Pump added, “You are amazing! Sometimes the only thing that keeps people from giving up is having someone say they love them and how cool you are someone who shares that message.”
In addition, Taylor Lautner, Madonna, Lucy Hale, Gabrielle Union and former Dancing With the Stars winner Nyle DiMarco all “liked” Paris’ upload.

Paris marked a major milestone in her sobriety journey last year.
“Hi, I’m pk, and I’m an alcoholic and a heroin addict,” she wrote via Instagram in January 2025. “Today marks 5 years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that I’m thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface.”
According to Paris, she’s able to “smile” more since getting sober.
“I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat. I get to feel heartbreak in all its glory,” she added at the time. “I get to grieve. I get to laugh. I get to dance. I get to trust. I feel the sun on my skin and it’s warm. I’ve found that life keeps happening regardless of whether I’m sober or not, but today I get to show up for it.”

Months later, Paris further explained how her life improved since she quit using drugs and alcohol.
“I didn’t just get my life back. I got a better one,” she said at the Friendly House Awards Luncheon in October 2025, per People. “I feel like getting sober was kind of like getting into a car accident because everything I shoved in the back seat moved forward on impact and today I’m learning to navigate life on life’s terms.”
She concluded, “Along with those things that flew forward, I support any and all programs and foundations and organizations that work towards helping other women do the same.”
