King of pop Michael Jackson's family remembered him on his seventh death anniversary.

The legendary singer died on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50.

Daughter Paris paid tribute to the "Beat It," hitmaker on Instagram. She created a photo collage featuring images of herself and her father, including childhood snapshots and what appears to be a Photoshopped picture of what the two might look like if they could pose together today.

"7 years, rest in peace, my best friend in the entire universe. I love you more than anything," she wrote.

Paris also addressed 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," she concluded.

Jackson's brothers -- Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon, who made up the Jackson 5 with him - also honored him with a performance at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, California, reported ET online.

The Jacksons sang hits like "One More Chance" and Michael's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'".
