Paris Jackson paid a sweet tribute to her father to mark the ninth anniversary of his death.

Paris was just 11 years old when Michael Jackson died from a drug overdose on June 25, 2009, aged 50.

Marking the anniversary, she posted a picture of the late icon on Instagram alongside the caption “infinite”.

Fans flooded her account with their own tributes with one writing: “We all lit a candle for him, no one will forget the angel he is.”

Another posted: “LEGEND. Sending you love.”

A third wrote: “He will always be with you. Everywhere......”

Paris’ aunt La Toyah Jackson also paid tribute with a picture of herself and Michael in matching white suits.

She captioned the picture: “We will always miss you! We will always love you! #MichaelJackson #KingofPop #Gonetoosoon #MJ #Music #songs #Dance #love #MondayMotivation.”

It comes days after Paris was forced to scrub graffiti from her father's Hollywood Walk of Fame star. Paris shared a picture of herself on Instagram as she attempted to remove the red pen, slamming the culprits for having “no respect”.

The actress and model is currently coping with the news that her grandfather Joe Jackson is dying. The Jackson patriarch “doesn’t have long to live” according to his son Jermaine Jackson.

She praised family and friends for their support, tweeting: “Thank you all for the love you’ve sent during this time.”

She later added: “Blessed to have a family that comes together the way the Jacksons do.”
