Paris Jackson 'doing better' but will likely remain at boarding school for troubled teens 'for years'



She was placed in a boarding school for troubled teens after she tried to commit suicide earlier this year.



And although Paris Jackson is 'doing better,' she will likely remain at the Diamond Ranch Academy in Utah for a long time to come, reports TMZ.



The 15-year-old was originally tipped to stay at the $14,000-a-month treatment centre for a few weeks, but a source told the website she may in fact stay 'for years' as she grapples with her 'many problems.'

The teenager was admitted to the school in July this year after slashing her wrists and overdosing on pills on June 5.



The academy is a secluded centre for teenagers that specialises in depression and grief management.



Paris - who is allegedly under a false name at the school - has apparently struggled with depression since her father Michael Jackson died in 2009.



Team effort: According to TMZ, Paris had a family therapy session on Tuesday morning with her biological mother Debbie Rowe and grandmother Katherine Jackson

According to TMZ, Paris had a family therapy session on Tuesday morning with her biological mother Debbie Rowe and grandmother Katherine Jackson.



Paris was allegedly with her therapist at the centre during the session while Debbie, 54, and Katherine, 83, joined in over the phone.



Sources tell the website that Paris may be allowed to visit her family for a few days in January, and Katherine is said to be redoing Paris' room for the occasion.

But Paris will return to the boarding school, where she will possibly remain for 'years' as her treatment continues, reports the website.



Meanwhile, Paris' mother Debbie made headlines on Monday when she said she would 'buy the bullet' to kill Conrad Murray after the disgraced doctor spoke ill of her during a new interview.



TMZ contacted Debbie after the former doctor - found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson - said that he and the King of Pop used to joke about how sexually unattractive they believed she was.



'A Jackson fan will shoot him dead, and I'd buy the bullet,' she reportedly told the gossip site.

Debbie, who is also mother to Paris' brother Prince, also doesn't believe Murray's claims that her ex-husband took his own life by injecting himself with the fatal dose of Propofol while he was in another room.



'It's so disgusting he's trashing the dead,' she told TMZ. 'The jury sure didn't buy his story.'
