Paris was just 11-years-old when her father died of cardiac arrest in June 2009.
Since then Paris has become a celebrity in her own right and even presented an award at last Sunday's VMAs.
While on stage, the political activist urged viewers to rise against “Nazi white supremacist jerks” following the Charlottesville violence.
“If we were to all put our voices together, do you realise the difference we would make?”
