Paris Jackson shares rare childhood pic of her with dad Michael Jackson

Paris Jackson has paid a heartfelt tribute to her late father Michael Jackson on what would've been his 59th birthday.

The 19-year-old model took to her Instagram account to share a throwback picture of herself embracing her dad - who passed away in 2009 aged 50 - when she was a youngster, and admitted she will "never feel love again" the way she did with him.

In an emotive caption, she wrote: "birthday wishes to the love of my life, the one person who showed me what passion truly was, the one that gave me solid morals to live by and how to dream. i will never feel love again the way i did with you. (sic)"

Paris also thanked her father for "the magic" and admitted she feels he is with her at all times, despite his passing.

She added: "you are always with me and i am always with you. though i am not you, and you are not me, i know with all of my being that we are one. and our souls will never change in that way. thank you for the magic, forever and always. (sic)"

Several of Michael's fans also paid tribute to the King of Pop - who also had sons Prince, 20, and Blanket, 15 - on his birthday outside his childhood home in Gary, Indiana.

According to the Chicago Tribune newspaper, the Thriller hitmaker's supporters flocked to the abode dressed in T-shirts emblasoned with images of the superstar singer, and some placed heart-shaped pictures of Michael upon the fence of his former house.

Last weekend, Paris wished her godfather Macaulay Culkin a happy 37th birthday.

She took to her Instagram Stories to share a snap of herself sitting on the Home Alone star's lap and added the caption: "HAPPY BURFDAY I LOVE YOU Make 37 your B**CH. (sic)"
