    Paris Jackson has been left with a perforated septum due to drug use

    The 27-year-old singer - who celebrated five years sober earlier this year - has had a hole in the cartilage and bone between her nostrils since she was "about" 20 years old, and it can be hard to manage, especially in the recording studio.


    She said in a video posted on social media: "I realised I never addressed this and it can sometimes be very noticeable.

    "I have a really loud whistle because you can hear it when I breathe through my nose and that is because I have what is called a perforated septum."

    Paris shone a light up her nose to highlight the cavity and explained it is "slightly different" to a deviated septum, where one nasal passage is smaller than the other.

    The Star actress - who is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson and nurse Debbie Rowe - admitted the hole was a result of "exactly where you think it's from".

    She warned: "Don't do drugs kids. Or do, I mean, everyone is going to have the experience they need to have with life. I'm not going to tell anyone what to do. I don't recommend it because it ruined my life."

    Paris noted she can "stick a spaghetti noodle" through her nostril and have it make an arch shape out the other.

    But the star doesn't want to have "plastic surgery" to fix the issue because of her sobriety.

    She explained: "You have to take pills when you do a surgery that gnarly.

    "And I don't want to f*** with that."

    The hit your knees singer celebrated five years of sobriety in January and admitted she is grateful she prioritised her health and changed her life.

    Alongside a video montage of her partying with friends, she wrote on Instagram: "hi, i'm pk and i'm an alcoholic and a heroin addict.

    "today marks 5 years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol. to say that i'm thankful would be a poor euphemism. gratitude hardly scratches the surface. it's because i'm sober that i get to smile today. i get to make music. i get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat.

    She added: "i get to feel heartbreak in all it's glory. i get to grieve. i get to laugh. i get to dance. i get to trust. i feel the sun on my skin and it's warm. i've found that life keeps happening regardless of whether i'm sober or not, but today i get to show up for it. (sic)"
