Paris Jackson lands crucial victory in case over dad Michael\u2019s estate<\/p>\n

Paris Jackson has won big in her legal battle against the executors <\/a>of her father Michael Jackson\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n

A Los Angeles judge has ruled in favor of the 28-year-old daughter of the late pop star after she raised concerns last year<\/a> over $625,000 in bonuses that were paid by executors John Branca<\/a> and John McClain to third-party law firms in 2018.<\/p>\n

Now, the money will have to be returned to the estate in a new ruling demanding transparency in the way that the family\u2019s money is spent.<\/p>\n

\u201cParis has always been focused on what’s best for her family and this ruling is a massive win for them,\u201d representatives for Paris said in a statement shared with The Independent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter years of delay, the Jackson family will finally get the transparency and accountability measures Paris has fought for. The Jackson Estate is supposed to be a prudent, fiscally responsible entity that supports the Jackson family \u2013 not a slush fund to help John Branca live out his Hollywood mogul fantasies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement continued: \u201cAfter months of engaging in sexist, scorched-earth tactics against a beneficiary, it’s time for John Branca to acknowledge his many missteps and act in the best interest of the family he has a fiduciary duty to protect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paris became one of the beneficiaries of Michael\u2019s estate after his death in 2009, along with her brothers Prince and Bigi.<\/p>\n
