La Toya also took to Instagram, posting a similar message, but with a different photo.
Michael's daughter Paris paid tribute to her dad on Instagram with a creating a photo collage featuring images of them together, including what appears to be a Photoshopped picture of what the pair might look like if they posed together today.
"7 years, rest in peace, my best friend in the entire universe," Paris wrote. "i love you more than anything,” she wrote in a touching note. She continued on to address the recent pornography collection allegations against her father. “things may be a little shitty in the press right now but everyone knows it's all bull and i swear on the family name i will protect you for as long as i live. there's no one like you, and there never will be. thank you for touching millions of hearts, but especially my own.”
Michael's nephew Taj Jackson followed suit, tweeting, "7 years ago we lost one of our brightest lights and it has been a darker world ever since."
