Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson and son Bigi Jackson (formerly known as Deken) attended their uncle Tito Jackson’s funeral in Glendale, California on Monday.
The 26-year-old singer and 22-year-old movie buff were spotted among family members, including their aunt La Toya Jackson, 68, uncle Marlon Jackson, 67, and cousins Jaafar, 28, and Jermajesty, 24.
Paris had a solemn expression on her face as she paid her respects in a black dress, black tights and black block heel boots.
For his part, Bigi wore a white shirt, black tie and black suit, with his long, dark hair parted in the middle and tucked behind his ears.
Kimora Lee Simmons, 49, was also at the meeting, which took place more than a month after Tito suffered a fatal heart attack on September 15 at the age of 70.

After Tito’s death, Paris shared a throwback photo of him and her late father — who died in June 2009 — on her Instagram Story, writing, “Rest in transition, Uncle Tito.”
Meanwhile, her older brother Prince, 27, shared a family photo on social media showing several members of the famous family surrounding matriarch Katherine.
He captioned it, “I love you forever Poppa T.”
Tito’s son TJ noted, “He always spoke so highly [of] You, Prince, and I were so proud of the man you have become and your love for your family. Thank you for being such a second cousin to him.”
Tito Jackson told his friend Terry Harvey Maltbia that he “couldn’t breathe” and “wasn’t feeling well” moments before he was rushed to a hospital in New Mexico, where he later died of a heart attack.
Maltbia, who is also Jackson’s business partner, told DailyMail.com that he and the singer were in Gallup, New Mexico and stopped for dinner before hitting the road again and heading to Jackson’s ranch in Oklahoma.
Maltbia, Jackson and another friend, Ronald Balfour, were on a road trip to California, where the trio planned to pick up Jackson’s vintage cars from his house.
“We just finished eating turkey and chicken, laughing and talking,” Maltbia said. ‘We were putting the top on the convertible because it started to rain. At that moment, Tito came back to the passenger window and said, “My chest hurts. Can you help Ronnie finish the top?’

Michael and Tito’s pop star sister Janet Jackson, 58, broke her silence on the latter’s death on October 15, which would have been his 71st birthday.
Via Instagram Stories, the singer uploaded a black and white childhood photo of the siblings and wrote: ‘May you rest in eternal peace. I miss you so much!’
For her part, La Toya also marked her older brother’s birthday with a tribute.
It was captioned: ‘Happy Heavenly Birthday Tito! I will always love you!’
Tito is survived by his nine grandchildren, as well as his three sons – Taj, 51, Taryll, 49, and TJ, 46 – from his 16-year marriage to Delores ‘Dee Dee’ Martes, which ended in 1988.
