Now 24, Paris, a musician and a model, has revealed that Michael instilled in her a belief that “beauty comes from the inside” and that she should keep an open mind when it comes to her looks.
Speaking to Popsugar, she said: “I try and always keep an open mind - not just with makeup, but with everything.

“I was raised by a free-love, hippie-type dude, so we were taught that beauty comes from the inside - and to this day, I still believe that.”
Paris revealed that she’s been “diving deeper into her spiritual life” by embracing self-love and positive affirmations.
She added: “It wasn't until the last couple of years that I've started feeling really good about myself and my body, and feeling comfortable and everything. Those moments of self-love aren't 24/7, but the bad moments are fewer and further between.”
On May 11 Paris made a rare joint public appearance with her brother Prince at a celebratory show in New York to mark the success of broadway show MJ the Musical.
