June 26 (UPI) -- Paris Jackson paid tribute to late dad Michael Jackson on the eighth anniversary of his death.

The 19-year-old aspiring actress said in an Instagram post Sunday that it "feels like a lifetime" has passed since the singer died at age 50 in 2009.

"my angel, my king, my universe. 8 years without you feels like a lifetime," she captioned a fan-altered photo of herself with her dad.

Paris also remembered Michael by getting a new tattoo in his honor Friday. She had the word "AppleHead" -- a term of endearment for Michael -- inked in cursive on the top of her left foot.

"with every step i take, you lift my foot and guide me forward. love you," the star wrote.

Paris is the daughter of Michael and his second wife, Debbie Rowe, and has several other tattoo tributes to her dad. Michael also fathered two sons: Prince Jackson, 20, and Blanket Jackson, 15.

"When I was a kid, I was with my dad and my two brothers," Paris recalled in the April issue of Harper's Bazaar. "Growing up, I was treated as the favorite because I was the only girl. I was the princess; I was perfect in my dad's eyes."

"The first 12 years of my life I was homeschooled," she added. "Which means that the only interactions I'd ever had were with family members or other adults."
