It is said that Paris reached out to Chloe to lend her support as she knows only too well how difficult it is to lose a parent so publicly.

"Paris knows better than anyone how hard it is to lose a parent, alongside millions of mourners worldwide," a source said.

The source went on to explain that Michael Jackson was a huge fan of Olivia Newton-John before his death in 2009.

"Olivia was a big part of Paris' childhood, and she knows her dad would've done the same thing, and reached out to Chloe, if he was still alive," the source added.

Marking the Walk for Wellness event that her mother started as a cancer fundraising event, Chloe said she couldn't be there that year, but that she and her step-father were there 'in spirit'.

Taking place in Melbourne each year, thousands of people take to the streets to raise money and awareness for survivors and research into breast cancer.

Although Chloe couldn't be there at the walk last year, she welled up having realised how many people came out in support of her late mum Olivia.
