Michael Jackson's children (l-r) Blanket, Paris and Prince Jackson sit down in a 2011 interview.

June 25, Saturday, marks the seventh anniversary of Michael Jackson's death and his children Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson found their respective ways to honor his memory. After their father's shocking death, Jackson's kids are trying to move on from the tragedy.

Nineteen-year-old Prince is into music. He formed a production company in Los Angeles named King's Son. He is working on the firm's first video while studying at Loyola Marymount University.

Jackson's 18-year-old daughter, Paris uses body art to keep her father's memory alive. She got a tattoo in April that read "Queen of My Heart" in the handwriting of her father, who he sees as the king of her heart, while everyone else called him the King of Pop. In May, she had her body inked with Jackson's 1989 album, "Dangerous."

As for being criticized by social media for not posting anything for her late father on Father's Day, Paris tweeted to defend herself that her Jackson-themed eight tattoos overrule a single post on social media. Jackson's daughter does not currently go to school and is in a relationship with Michael Snoddy, 26.

Paris lives with their grandmother Katherine Jackson, and so is Blanket, 14, who attends Buckley School in L.A. and is involved in martial arts. Prince always comes home to visit his grandmother and the three siblings are said to be close to each other, PEOPLE reported.

This week's issue of PEOPLE has an excerpt of the new book, "83 Minutes: The Doctor, the Damage, and the Shocking Death of Michael Jackson." The Thomas Dunne Books by Matt Richards and Mark Langthorne is an inside story of Jackson's final hours, including what his kids had gone through during his death.

Richards and Langthorne, a documentary filmmaker and former manager of the music industry, used evidence and testimony from Dr. Conrad Murray's trial, as well as media reports and books about Jackson. They then thoroughly connected the dots from Jackson's life in the 1980s to his final days. "83 Minutes" has a powerful narrative effect of putting the puzzle pieces, even though Jackson's fans and those who have followed the Murray case are already aware of the details it outlined, according to The Washington Post on its book review.
