LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson's young daughter has told a public memorial service in Los Angeles that she loves her father.

Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson gave a short but emotional statement to the audience of thousands in the downtown Staples Center arena Tuesday.

Paris said that ever since she was born, her "daddy" was the best father one could imagine.

She ended by saying, "I just wanted to say I love him so much."

  • My heart really broke for Michael's children. Whatever anyone else thought about him, he was Daddy to three children. My thoughts and prayers are with them and hope that they can hold their special memories of their dad.
