The daughter of late pop star Michael Jackson is concerned that her grandmother is being kept from her.

A reported scuffle at the home of Katherine Jackson in Calabasas on Monday did not involve the children of late pop star Michael Jackson, but his daughter is concerned about the whereabouts of her grandmother, according to the Los Angeles Times.

It was two unnamed adults of the Jackson family that were being investigated, though no arrests were made, Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies told the Times.

Paris Jackson, 14, reported her grandmother missing over the weekend, and a report Saturday at the

On Friday, Jermaine Jackson tweeted that his mother was in Arizona.

"I want to reassure everyone (inc all sudden medical experts) that mother is fine but is resting up in AZ on the orders of a doctor, not us," he tweeted.

Paris claims she is being kept from seeing her grandmother and has tweeted several times in the past week making her concern public.

"8 days and counting . something is really off , this isn’t like her at all .." she tweeted on Monday. "i wanna talk directly to my grandmother!!<|3"

On Tuesday morning, she tweeted: "9 days and counting… so help me god i will make whoever did this pay."

L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said a business associate of the family tipped deputies off that Katherine Jackson was being "emotionally and financially mistreated by family members," the Times reports.

Whitmore said she denied those allegations when deputies interviewed her in person in Arizona, KTLA reports.

Either way it is wrong and uses the race card as a "despicable stunt"

Not a hate crime at all. Just a very stupid kid trying to manipulate the system so he could beRead More granted a athletic transfer.One of the kids on the "hit list" was the perp. Really despicable stunt.

It is unfortunate that this incident happened at our local schools. The crime is a result ofRead More ignorance and lack of education. All members of our community regardless of their race, creed, or religion should be respected. Perhaps our community needs to introspect and see why this occurred and how further events can be prevented.

Thanks for your great perspective on this issue. We should all unplug once in awhile.

I think for the most part, people are mentally drained. Few take the time to sit back relaxRead More anymore. Even when we do have a minute to ourselves, we're constantly bombarded with emails, text messages and status updates. If we unplugged ourselves from our devices, we might find the serenity we all so desperately need. Turn your phone off, take a hike. Find a big tree next to a creek and sit under the shade. Enjoy nature. Listen to the sound of the water, the birds and the breeze as it moves through the brush. When you get back to nature, if only for a short time, you'll leave with a clear mind and feel revitalized. You're right---technology was supposed to make our lives more simple. Instead, it fuels the attention deficit disorder as our brain becomes a hashtag with a constant barrage of (often useless) news and updates. Although I'm young, I'd give anything to go back to the days where calling someone often led to a wild goose chase of finding an available payphone and spare change to make the call.

It's not about moving forward, it's about saving your breath! That's the whole problem; too muchRead More talk and not enough action! You gonna eat that fish or just hold it up in the air?
