Paris Jackson is not shy about telling everyone about how she expresses herself, and it involves being naked. Michael Jackson's daughter took to Instagram to post a topless photo of herself on her balcony and expressed her views on nudity.

Alongside the black-and-white topless photo of herself, she wrote: "I'll say it again for those questioning what I stand for and how I express myself. Nudity started as a movement for 'going back to nature', 'expressing freedom', 'being healthier' and was even called a philosophy.

"Bing naked is part of what makes us human. for me it helps me feel more connected to mama gaia. I'm usually naked when in garden."

In the post, which has already garnered 68,845 likes, the 19-year-old candidly called out Hollywood stars for making nudity sexual. "It's actually a beautiful thing and you don't have to make it sexual the way many Hollywood stars (and the media) do.

"Not only is your body a temple and should be worshipped as so, but also part of feminism is being able to express yourself in your own way, whether it's being conservative and wearing lots of clothes or showing yourself," she wrote.

Paris also stressed the importance of appreciating one's body. "The human body is a beautiful thing and no matter what "flaws" you have, whether it be scars, or extra weight, stretch marks, freckles, whatever, it is beautiful and you should express yourself however you feel comfortable."

She encouraged her followers who may be upset with her topless photo to click the "unfollow" button. "If this makes some of you upset i completely understand and I encourage you to maybe no longer follow me, but I cannot apologize for this in any way. It is who I am and I refuse to shy away and keep my beliefs a secret.

"Wvery one as an opinion and every one has their beliefs. we don't always agree with one another and that's okay. but again, we are all human, and to appreciate the things that other people do that make us human helps us feel connected. how can that be a bad thing?" she concluded.
