Is it safe to burn paper in a fireplace?

It depends on what you mean by “safe”.  If you are using a conventional wood-burning fireplace, then it’s definitely not safe, since the burn rate is slow and the fire smolders and smokes, but the fire can’t escape through the chimney.  These factors can cause dangerous “backdrafts” and make the smoke potentially deadly.
