has hit back at critics who are angry she's scheduled to perform on her late father Michael Jackson 's upcoming death anniversary.
The 27-year-old nepo baby of the iconic music artist — who died June 25, 2009 at age 50 — fired back at fans via now-expired Instagram Stories on Friday.
According to an account from People, Paris — who went bra-free with her fiancé days ago — said to her five million followers, 'So people are mad again. I guess one of the dates I'm supposed to be going out on tour (with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra) happens to be June 25, which is a very negative anniversary for me in my life and my family.'
She continued in the video post, 'So, what I guess I have to explain to these people is that when you're not headlining these shows, you don't pick what date you perform.'
The blonde music artist also underscored that she is not getting lavish accommodations as an opening act.
'It's just me and my acoustic guitar and my sound guy, who happens to be my fiancé,' she said in reference to her husband-to-be, Justin Long. 'So we're gonna be in a soccer mom van.'
Paris noted that she volunteered to be part of the tour and wouldn't step down over the date.
'So, I'm gonna tell 'em, "Sorry, guys, we can't perform on this date?"' she posited, facetiously, adding, 'F*** you.'
The songstress also reposted, via Instagram Stories, what appeared to be a comment or caption from a fan account.
It read in part, 'Note to admins: It is unacceptable to judge someone else's pain and grief based on information from the internet.
'Judging Paris' respect for her father from an outside perspective is unfair. June 25 may intensify our pain as fans, but she lives with the loss of her father daily.'
Paris added a simple response: 'thx fam.'
In March it was announced by Incubus that Jackson and Manchester Orchestra would be hitting the road with them for their Morning View + The Hits tour throughout the US and UK.
On June 25 — the 16th anniversary of Michael's death — the tour will be in Nashville, Tennessee.
Paris and Justin met in 2022 and their relationship was professional before it was romantic.
'Happy birthday my sweet blue,' she wrote in a birthday tribute announcing their engagement last December.
She added, 'Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind, and I couldn't dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with. Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.'
According to his LinkedIn Justin attended college in Indiana at Grace College & Seminary, where he graduated in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in marketing and business administration.
He transitioned to music full-time in 2013 and has worked with artists including Grace Potter, The Wombats and Sleater-Kinney.
