Paris is also an activist. She’s spoken out about mental health awareness, suicide prevention, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental issues. She’s been open about her own struggles to reduce stigma and encourage others to seek help.
\n“Mental health is not something to be ashamed of,” she said. “It’s something to talk about. It’s something to heal from. It’s something to grow through.”
\nShe’s also been open about her sexual orientation, identifying as queer. She has said that she doesn’t like labels but that

Life Today: Peace, Purpose, and Possibility
\nParis currently lives in Los Angeles with her dogs and her cat. She continues to make music, act, and model. She also launched a mental health podcast called Unfiltered, where she interviews other celebrities about their struggles.

\nShe’s active on social media especially Instagram, where she shares photos of her music, her art, her pets, and her travels.
\nShe uses her platform to promote causes<\/p>\n
Paris once said, “I hope people remember me as someone who tried to make the
\nworld a little bit better. Not because of who my dad was. Because of who I am.” I think she’s well on her way.
