Joe Jackson gave a statement in front of the Jackson family compound in Encino, California this afternoon to address the death of his son Michael and to let the public know that they have their three grandchildren. What he said on his son:

“I’ve seen Michael help so many people and sometimes he would go and cry about it because he felt sorry for the people that he was helping,” Joe explained. I was very proud of my son.”

What he said on his grandchildren:

“They’re happy with the kids that they’re around because we have kids over [at the house]. They’re small just like they are and some of them are the same age… they were never around other kids, but they’re happy,” Joe told reporters.

“This is where they belong. We’re the [grand]parents and we’ve got other kids of their size,” Joe said. “They love those kids and we love those kids too. We’re going to take care of them and give them an education that they’re supposed to have. We can do that… We have [a space] large enough to be able to extend to them all the help that they might need.”
