The 18-year-old actress has followed her late father Michael into the entertainment sphere, appearing on TV and on magazine covers, and Jackie has suggested Paris was always destined for stardom.

Asked about Paris and her brothers Prince and Michael Jr getting into the showbiz industry, the former Jackson 5 star said: "I guess it's in their blood. They watched us growing up when they were young. They love the business. That's what they want to do, so go ahead and do it. That's how we look at it."

Michael's children have also been backed to follow their dreams by Jackie's brother Tito.

However, he urged Paris, Prince and Michael Jr. to exercise "good judgement".

He told 'Good Morning Britain': "There's a lot of talent in the family. We have a lot of singers and actors and actresses so you can't stop a person's dreams.

"They see their aunts and uncles doing what they do - usually we try and be like our parents and siblings and that's what they do.

"I just tell them to keep their head on straight and use good judgement. That's the important thing."

This comes shortly after Paris revealed her father still inspires "all" she does.

The teenage star - who lost the 'Beat It' hitmaker back in 2009 - explained that "99 percent of her inspiration" comes from the record-breaking singer as he has "always been her world".

She said: "All of my inspiration. I would say 99 percent of my inspiration comes from him, because he has always been my world. He is my roots."

The actress also revealed she was especially inspired by Michael's strength of character.

Asked what one of her dad's qualities she'd like to have, Paris said: "Definitely his strength. He was the strongest person I know and tried to do everything with a much love and kindness as possible."
