Father’s Day was on Sunday, June 21, and many celebrities used the opportunity to publicly celebrate the men in their lives who have left a lasting impact. For some, it was honoring the man with whom they had created a family, for others, it was reflecting on the bond they share with their own father. For Paris Jackson, it was about celebrating all the incredible dads she knows, including her own father, Michael Jackson, who died on June 25, 2009.

In the text overlay, Paris wrote, “Happy father’s day to some of the best dads I know! Spam incoming.” She then shared ten photos of men who have impacted her life in beautiful ways.

Paris Jackson Reveals Her Relationship With Late Father Michael Jackson
GettyParis has opened up about her father several times over the years, but in an episode of Jack Osbourne’s “Trying Not To Die” podcast in May 2026, she revealed she no longer wants to do that. Whereas she once felt she needed to share everything with fans, she is now protecting her privacy. “That has drastically changed in the last few years, because I don’t really feel like any of us owe anyone anything,” she said. “And the way I express myself now, I don’t want it to feel performative.”
Paris has also been criticized in the past for not making a public tribute on her father’s death day, which is on June 25, and not celebrating him with a Father’s Day tribute. In the episode, she addressed this, saying, “This idea of, like, you need to go on social media… and you need to basically mimic how a fan would express their love. But for me, I had a personal relationship, not a parasocial relationship. I’m now learning I can have my own personal relationship, and I’m allowed to be private about it, and I’m now, like, my relationship [with my dad] is the most beautiful relationship ever.”
She continued, “I’m in a very beautiful spot with my dad, and I love that, and it’s no one’s business, and I don’t have to share that with anybody. There’s a lot of freedom in that, which is really cool. I’m not going to express my love in a copycat way, copying someone that didn’t know him. Because I did. That was my best friend.”
