Katherine Jackson back with grandkids

Katherine Jackson has returned to her home in Calabasas to see her grandchildren.

Katherine Jackson has returned to her home in Calabasas to see her grandchildren.

Paris Jackson - who has lived with her grandmother since the death of her father Michael Jackson in 2009 - had been concerned as she had not seen or heard from her in some time, but has now tweeted her relief at her return.

Katherine had been away from the home in Los Angeles for 11 days in Arizona, where it had been suggested she was being kept against her will by her children - including Janet, Jermaine and Rebbie - but she has denied that was the case.

She said in a statement: "I am devastated that while I've been away, my grandchildren have been taken away from me, and I'm coming home. There are rumours going around about me that I have been kidnapped and held against my will.

"I am here today to let everybody to know that I am fine. My children would never do a thing to me like that, holding me against my will - it's very stupid for people to think that."

Earlier this week, Janet slapped her niece Paris - who lives at the home with her brothers Prince Michael, 15, and 'Blanket', 10 - and called her a "selfish little b***h" when she arrived at the Calabasas mansion to take them to Arizona.

However, Paris retorted by slapping her back and shouting it was not their house to take control of.
