Celebrity website TMZ.com, which first reported the suicide bid, said that Paris had been taken from her family home in Calabasas, California on a stretcher at 2am and taken to a nearby hospital. The site also reported a source as saying the teenager had cut herself multiple times on one of her wrists.

Just hours before the incident, the teenager had posted lyrics of the sorrowful Beatles’ song ‘Yesterday’ on Twitter.

Around midnight she wrote: 'Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay.’
