Eleven years have passed since the world lost Michael Jackson but to his family, he remains the greatest performer of all time. The "Thriller" hitmaker's daughter, Paris Jackson, and his other family members paid tribute to the singer on his 11th death anniversary.
In her post on Instagram, Paris remembered her father. She also thanked him for the "magic" of his music that he shared with his fans. Paris also posted some photos of Michael along with a quote from Ernest Hemingway about how man lives his life and makes a legacy.
Paris' tribute to the multi-awarded artist came a few days after she made her debut in the music industry. The 22 -year-old singer/model dropped her first-ever EP, titled The Soundflowers, along with Gabriel Glenn. Paris is Michael's second child with Debbie Rowe. He has three children: Prince Michael, 23, Paris, and Bigi, 18.
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson's siblings, Latoya and Tito, and his nephew Taj Jackson also shared their thoughts about the late singer. Tito posted a throwback photo of his brother while Latoya called Michael the greatest soul and entertainer in the world.
Taj, on the other hand, said his uncle's love and talent are truly missed by his family and fans especially this time when artists around the world are making a stand about several societal issues. He said the world is in a darker place without Michael Jackson in it.
The King of Pop has been known for his charitable works and spearheading causes. Many of his music emphasized on racial diversity and integration, environmentalism, and calling out injustice.
Jackson was 50 years old when he was found dead on June 25, 2009, after going into cardiac arrest in his Los Angeles mansion. His death was caused by propofol overdose administered by his personal physician, Conrad Murray. The doctor was, later on, convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection to Jackson's death.
Michael's fame has been tainted with accusations of child sexual abuse. The "Heal The World" hitmaker repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. Back in 2005, Jackson was acquitted in a child sex abuse case against him in California.
Last year, HBO released the documentary Leaving Neverland, which chronicles the allegations against the singer. The docu-film focused on the claims of James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who both alleged the "Billie Jeans" singer befriended them when they were young and their relationships to the singer turned sexual.
Michael's estate slammed the documentary. They called it another rehash of discredited allegations.
