It's been seven years since the King of Pop passed away.
It's hard to believe that seven years have passed since Michael Jackson died on June 25th, 2009.
His friends and family paid tribute to the late King of Pop on their various social media accounts over the weekend.
Sister La Toya Jackson posted a picture of her brother asking people to "let him #rip".
Please! May We All Let Him #RIP!#MichaelJackson The #KingOfPop

Daughter Paris who continually posts tributes on social media to her father, posted a photo collage to Instagram calling her father her "best friend".
Michael's nephew also remembered his uncle in a tweet saying it's been a "darker world ever since".
7 years ago we lost one of our brightest lights and it has been a darker world ever since. #MJforever
