La Toya was one of the first in the family to announce her father’s death posting a heartwarming message for her father who she was once estranged with.

“I will always love you! You gave us strength, you disciplined us in your own way, you made us one of the most famous families in the world. I am extremely appreciative of that, I will never forget the last moments we spent together and how you told me how much you cared, how proud you were of me and how much you loved me! I am most grateful for that!”

“I will never forget when security and the nurses kept telling me you said my daughter La Toya is coming to visit me today, I want to look good for her, dress me up put my teeth in, it made me feel so good Joseph! I smiled and I cried all the way home. I love you! #RIP Joe Jackson.”

The singer also posted a link to a YouTube video from 2013 where she’s joined by her father in a business lunch discussing the death of her brother Michael Jackson.
