Paris Jackson knew Michael as her father not some celebrity. She also knew that he had a massive amount of followers because he was a musician and I am sure she has seen him perform in front of thousands and thousands of fans (maybe Live and on TV) so the crowd at the Staples Center was almost expected in her mind. Keeping that in mind I don't think she would need any courage to speak in front of that crowd and that too to say how much she loved her father.
About her getting pushed into making that speech, I would have believed that if one of the Jackson brothers or any member of the family would have handed over a speech to her and asked her to cry at the exact moment when she says "He was the best father.." to look cute on TV.
