Reverend Al Sharpton has praised Paris Jackson for her emotional speech at her dad Michael's memorial service yesterday.
Fighting back the tears, Paris spoke at the end of the Staples Center ceremony while supported by the Jackson family.
She said: "Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine and I just wanted to say I love him so much."
Speaking to Larry King after the ceremony, Reverend Sharpton said: "That - that touched everyone. And I think you couldn't script that. She's not reading a prompter.
“This is a young lady - in fact, if you saw it, they had really said they wanted Janet Jackson to speak. And Janet kind of brought her forward. And she spoke from the heart about her father.
“I think she's worried the whole world understands how human Michael Jackson was."
