Paris Jackson is an American model, actress, singer, songwriter, and musician. She is 5′10″.

She was born the legal daughter of singer Michael Jackson, who was African-American, and Debbie Rowe, who is white.

It is often reported that her biological father was Arnold Klein, who was Michael’s dermatologist. Her biological mother is often believed to be Debbie, although this is not certain. Arnold was Ashkenazi Jewish. Debbie has English, and likely other, ancestry. She converted from Catholicism to Judaism during an earlier marriage.

The book Bad: An Unprecedented Investigation Into the Michael Jackson Cover-Up, 2020, by Dylan Howard, states that Paris had a DNA test that stated that her genetic ancestry is predominantly European.

Paris has said that her father made it a point to tell her that she is black, and she should be proud of her roots. She specified:

I consider myself black… Most people that don’t know me call me white. I’ve got light skin and, especially since I’ve had my hair blond, I look like I was born in Finland or something.

Paris is a niece of musicians La Toya Jackson and Janet Jackson, among others. Musicians 3T (Tariano Jackson, Taryll Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jr.) are her cousins.

Arnold Klein was the son of David Klein/Kline and Malvena/Malvina/Malivine Kraemer. David was born in Poland, and was an Orthodox rabbi. Malvena was born in Michigan, to Russian Jewish/Polish Jewish parents, Samuel Kraemer and Esther.

Debbie Rowe’s father was Gordon Dean Rowe (the son of Raymond Paul Rowe and Hallie Elnore Kennedy). Raymond was the son of Edward A. Rowe and Dora May Gordy. Hallie was the daughter of Clyde Henry Kennedy and Mary May Gentert, who was of German descent.

Debbie Rowe’s mother was Barbara Jeanne Chilcutt (the daughter of Homer Edgar Chilcutt and Violet Mary Dwyer). Barbara was born in California. Homer was the son of Albert Gillespie Chilcutt and Mary Jane Walker. Violet was the daughter of John H. Dwyer and Jennie Shake.
