His daughter Paris, 14, arrived at the place with her brothers Prince, 15, and Blanket, 10, and tweeted a picture of herself next to one of her father, writing: 'Happy birthday daddy. I love you with all my heart, always and forever."

They were joined there by their aunt La Toya Jackson and the trio's co-guardians, grandmother Katherine Jackson and their cousin TJ, reported TMZ.

A candlelight tribute for the 'Beat It' hitmaker, who died in June 2009 aged 50, was held outside his boyhood home later in the day at 2300 Jackson Street.

Thousands of fans danced to Jackson's music prior to the arrival of his children and mother at the house where the King of Pop, his siblings and their parents lived until 1969.

 

In the days after Jackson's death in 2009, the singer's admirers piled stuffed animals, flowers and photos outside the tiny home.

Michael died from acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009, and his personal physician Dr Conrad Murray is currently serving a jail sentence for the singer's involuntary manslaughter.
