KATHERINE Jackson, the mother of Michael Jackson and the guardian of his three minor children, has been reported missing, but the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says she is with family members.
Paris Jackson, the 14-year-old daughter of the late pop legend, tweeted early yesterday morning that her grandmother was missing: "I haven't spoken with her in a week I want her home now," she posted from her Twitter account. She also tweeted a number for people to contact in case they saw the 82-year-old matriarch of the famous singing clan.
The sheriff's department said another family member officially reported her missing on Saturday night because he couldn't speak with her and was concerned. While the authorities are trying to reach Katherine Jackson, they also say she is with family members.
The family drama unfolded days after it was revealed some of her children had written a letter to the executors of Jackson's estate, alleging Michael Jackson's will, which left his fortune to his children, his mother and charity, was a fake.
The undated letter, signed by Janet, Randy, Tito, Rebbie and Jermaine Jackson, alleged that Katherine Jackson was being manipulated by the executors, John Branca and John McClain.
They also said her health had been affected, and she had suffered a mini-stroke.
The veracity of the letter was confirmed by Randy Jackson on Twitter; Janet Jackson retweeted his post.
The estate has denied the accusations.
It is unclear who is taking care of the children in her absence.
