The daughter of the late pop legend Michael Jackson marked Father's Day on Sunday by posting a heartbreaking picture of herself and her two brothers, Prince and Bigi, with the Thriller star.
Michael died following a cardiac arrest which was brought on by a propofol overdose in 2009 at the age of 50.
The megastar, often hailed as the King of Pop, shared two children – Paris, 25, and Prince, 26 – with his second wife Debbie Rowe. He welcomed his third child, 21-year-old Bigi – previously known as Blanket – via surrogate.
Taking to Instagram to repost a picture shared by a fan account over the weekend, Paris wrote on her Instagram story: "Happy father’s day".
In the snap, the family is seen standing in a kitchen, with Michael holding Bigi in his arms while the older siblings help bake a cake. Prince simply stands at the counter while his younger sister Paris holds a wooden mixing spoon.

Last year, Prince took to his own Instagram account to pay tribute to his dad on what would have been his 64th birthday.
"Happy birthday to the greatest! Miss you more and more but I love you more and more with each day," he wrote, before adding: "Thank you for everything."
Paris, who is a model and musician, has spoken about about how she will "always" be influenced by her father's art.
Speaking to the Evening Standard in 2021, she said: "I think he’ll always influence everything I do in some way, whether it’s subconscious or intentional. I was around that creativity all the time, so I’m sure I learnt a lot of what I have from that."
Elsewhere in the interview, Paris spoke about how they were taught discipline by their father.

She recalled: "We were very privileged growing up, but when it came to things like getting toys and going on the rides, we had to earn that. We were lucky enough to be raised with solid morals. He would be like: 'Oh, you want to go to Toys ‘R’ Us and get five toys? Great. You need to read five books — and I will test you on those books.'
"It was very clear to us that those rides and the zoo were for underprivileged children — children who were sick and couldn’t go to Disneyland. If we were good, and we did our homework and we worked hard throughout the week, maybe we could go at the weekends, but we had to earn it."
