Attorneys were reported on RadarOnline making the bid on behalf of Prince Michael I, Paris Katherine and Prince Michael II. The children’s allowance was previously awarded after their father’s sudden death. They are in the permanent custody of their grandmother, Katherine.

Judge Mitchell Beckloff heard the request to increase “the family allowance to the children” in a Los Angeles courtroom. The attorneys did not reveal in the open court why the money was needed.

Howard Weitzman, power attorney for the executors of the estate, said a formal submission will be made for the amount. The children’s grandfather, Joe, who was not named in Jackson’s will, is persisting with an embattled bid for an allowance from the estate. His case returns to court on January 28.

Blanket Jackson was seen prancing around with the rumoured love child of Jackson, Omer Bhatti (pictured). The 25-year-old has been a constant companion to the three since they lost their father in June.

Prince Michael, Blanket and Paris all attend a martial arts academy in Encino, California, where they live with their grandmother, Jackson matriarch Katherine.

La Toya Jackson, recently spoke of how the three are dealing with their grief – each of them in his or her own way. La Toya said Prince Michael I is having the greatest challenge. She said: “Prince just doesn’t want to speak about it. I do worry about him very much.”

Of Blanket, she said: “He is just a very sad, shy little boy. He cries – he really does cry. It’s so painful for him. No one can bring his daddy back and it hurts too much.”

Paris, meanwhile, was doing better and had plastered her walls with posters of her father. “She thinks and talks about her father all the time,” La Toya said.

Hilton told People, that Paris, 11, Prince 12, and Blanket, 7, are “wonderful”.

Hilton is the socialite mother of Paris and Nicky, of the famous Hilton hotels dynasty. She said of the Jackson children: “Their grandmother is incredible and they could not be in better hands. I believe they are being home-schooled, which I think is appropriate for this year.”

Hilton, 50, has known the family since she was 13. She emphasised: “They’re getting along and they have an incredible family. They really are, I promise you.”

In countless reports, the late Michael’s siblings have said the children, who live at the family’s Encino compound, have many cousins to play with and are managing well.

Michael Jackson's young daughter Paris has become the latest client of a top LA hairdresser.

The 11-year-old reportedly visited the LA salon of Andy Lecompte, whose past clients have included Madonna, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow.

It is claimed that her two brothers Prince Michael and Blanket sat with their bodyguards while she had her hair washed, cut and styled and her nails painted black at the salon on Melrose Avenue.

An onlooker said: "They weren't like normal children at all because they seemed to have no joy or playfulness about them.

"I know they recently lost their father, but their complete lack of emotion meant it was like watching three robots."
