Michael Jackson's Kids Donate Their Father's Art to Children's Hospital

Jackson kids

Michael Jackson's three children, (clockwise from top left to right) Prince, Paris and Blanket have made a rare public appearance for a ceremony at Children's Hospital Los Angeles on Monday (August 8), where the kids donated some of their late father's artwork to the hospital.

14-year-old Prince Jackson (born Michael Joseph Jackson Jr.), 13-year-old Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and 9-year-old Blanket Jackson (born Prince Michael Jackson II) gave away 10 autographed pieces from their famous father's collection of sketches to the hospital.

The kids were accompanied by their grandmother and now legal guardian, Katherine Jackson, and aunt, LaToya Jackson. The children also signed their own names on some of the pieces below their father's autograph.

The late king of pop's drawings depict subjects such as Mickey Mouse, furniture and other objects and will be displayed throughout the hospital walls.

The three uniquely named Jackson children have rarely been seen in public together since their father's memorial service following his sudden and tragic passing on June 25, 2009.

Prince (February 13, 1997) and sister Paris (born April 3, 1998) are the children of Jackson's ex-wife and longtime friend, Deborah Jeanne Rowe, a dermatology nurse. Jackson divorced Rowe, his second wife following his brief and highly publicized marriage to Lisa Marie Presley, in 1999 and received full custody of their two children.

Blanket, Jackson's third and youngest child was born in 2002, as the result of artificial insemination by a publicly unknown surrogate mother and Jackson's own sperm.
