Paris Jackson, the only daughter of the late Michael Jackson, was hospitalized early Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, according to her grandmother?s attorney, Michael Koskoff.

Koskoff, who is representing Katherine Jackson in the wrongful death trial of the late pop star, told NBC News that his client would not be in court Wednesday. Paris, 15, and her brother Prince are expected to testify during the trial, but not this week.

Los Angeles County Fire Department Inspector Scott Miller told NBC News that his department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff?s Department responded to a call in the 25000 block of Prado De La Felicidad in Calabasas that came in as ?a possible overdose,? Miller said. A patient was transported to a nearby hospital 20 minutes later.

Miller said he could not say who lives in the house. The Jacksons own a home on that block.

"Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are," Kevin Boyle, an attorney for Katherine Jackson, said in a statement. "It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you. Paris is physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention. Please respect her privacy and the family's privacy."

The girl's mother, Debbie Rowe, asked for the same via her attorney Eric George: "We appreciate everyone's thoughts for Paris at this time and their respect for the family's privacy."

Paris Jackson?s Twitter feed is known for its cryptic, over-sharing nature. Her messages on Tuesday night indicated that she may have been upset: ?I wonder why tears are salty?"

Later, she tweeted Beatles lyrics: ?Yesterday, all my troubles seemed far away now it looks as though they?re here to stay.?

The fourth anniversary of Michael Jackson?s death is June 25.
