La Toya tells London's Mirror newspaper that Michael's three children are currently in therapy to cope with the loss of their father.
"Prince just doesn't want to speak about it," La Toya said. "I do worry about him very much."
Meanwhile, his sister Paris "thinks and talks about her father all the time. She's doing very well, writes a lot and she wears his shirts every day," she said. "They still smell of him and it helps her feel close to him."
La Toya confessed that Michael's youngest son Blanket is having the hardest time coping with the loss. "He cries – he really does cry. It's so painful for him. No one can bring his daddy back and it hurts so much. They all go to therapy and I truly hope Prince especially will be able to open up," added La Toya.
Losing a parent is never easy, especially when the children are too young to understand what really happened. Poor kids. Hopefully therapy will help them cope with the loss. And maybe the Jackson's should stop talking about the children and just let them cope.

Paris blames Michael's This Is It tour for killing him. She told her aunt La Toya Jackson that her dad was under too much pressure and working "non stop" for the London tour, and she believes that was the cause of his death.
La Toya UK TV show The Paul O’Grady Show: “Paris asked me in the hospital, ‘How could this happen? The cardiologist was the best, so how could this happen?’
“She said, ‘You know, Auntie La Toya, they worked him too hard. He never got the chance to rest, it was just non-stop work.’ I said, ‘You’re kidding,’ and she said, ‘You don’t understand. They just worked him constantly and daddy didn’t want that.’ ”
Michael reportedly always had a fear of death. He was convinced he would one day be murdered--and La Toya agreed with him.
La Toya added, "I thought that from day one. You must understand something Michael always told me. He said, 'If anything happens to me, if I die, it's because someone murdered me. They're trying to kill me'. It wasn't that he was being delusional, they did this over the catalogue.
"He owned The Beatles catalogue. Most entertainers out there, he owned their music. He would say, 'They're going to kill me over that catalogue. It's dangerous.' Look what happened.”
It's so tragic that Michael's children have to grown up with such a short memory of their father. But it's better for Paris to think that her father died from being a hard worker rather than knowing the truth.
The homicide investigation against Michael's personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray is still underway, so hopefully he'll get convicted soon and justice will be served.

La Toya owes $745,670 in unpaid mortgage installments on the plush condo at the LV International Country Club, according to TMZ.com.
She has until the end of the month to cough up the money or else the condo goes up for auction. But apparently she doesn't seem too worried about losing her home.
Her rep says, "La Toya has an extensive real estate portfolio and her advisers directed her to the business decision to let this particular property to go to short sale where it is now. The property was also something she got during her divorce from Jack Gordon and she has no attachment to it."
La Toya seems too busy concentrating on her 15 minutes of fame to even care that she's losing her condo, so it all works out in the end.

Throughout Michael's life, he's donated millions of dollars to different organizations, most of which benefit sick or poor children.
For example, Jackson donated tickets to shows in his 1989 Bad Tour to underprivileged children. The proceeds from one of his shows in Los Angeles were donated to Childhelp USA, the biggest charity-organization against child-abuse. Childhelp of Southern California then established the “Michael Jackson International Institute for Research On Child Abuse”.
She told Access Hollywood, “Michael has been called home to sing with the angels, I will miss him dearly. We would like to thank all of Michael’s loving fans for their tremendous support.”
“And ask that in Michael’s memory give of yourself to the charities he believed in and keep the magic going!”
La Toya will be appearing on Access on September 14th to talk more about her brother’s legacy. Some of the organizations Michael helped to either establish or donate to are Camp Ronald McDonald, Childhelp USA, the Make A Wish Foundation, and the Heal The World Foundation.
But one person doesn’t believe Michael’s death was truly a homicide, and it’s his sister La Toya Jackson. A source close to the Jackson family tells Access Hollywood, “La Toya knew it the second she heard he was dead. [Michael] had been telling her for the longest [time] that they were going to kill him and she knows all the players involved.”
“Wait until you see how everything unfolds. It’s going to be the biggest conspiracy of all times.”
That’s a pretty shocking allegation! We wonder what La Toya thinks Michael’s doctors were hiding from him! It’s so scary, because it definitely seems like at the time of his death, Michael was at the mercy of the people who could give him the drugs he apparently thought he needed.
It’s just another twist in the never-ending mystery. As for the rest of the Jackson family, no one else has spoken out to contend the homicide ruling.
A Jackson family official statement reads: “The Jackson family has full confidence in the legal process, and commends the ongoing efforts of the L.A. County Coroner, the L.A. District Attorney and the L.A. Police Department. The family looks forward to the day that justice can be served.”

A source close to La Toya tells Us Weekly that she’s been approached to appear on the show, and is currently weighing her options.
According to the source, ABC has thrown out a great offer, and that La Toya is trying to decide what to do. The source says she’s “in serious discussions to join the show.”
Her rep added, "She's a big fan of the show, and being from a musical family, it would be a good fit.”
La Toya made headlines last month when she told the Daily Mail that her brother Michael was murdered.
"I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start," the Mail quoted La Toya as saying in the interview. "Not just one person was involved; rather it was a conspiracy of people."
She added that at the time of Michael's death, she thought "he was surrounded by a negative circle of friends. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren't always on his side."
Say what you will about the Jackson's, but they got some serious dance skills. We could definitely see her being a part of the show! This could be her chance to finally shine! What do you think about La Toya joining the cast? Who else would you love to see on the show?
