Prince Jackson is trying to honor his father Michael Jackson's philanthropic legacy, as he joined Heal Los Angeles for its Annual Christmas Toy Shopping Spree. But as the eldest son of the Prince of Pop opened up about his father's legacy, he gave the world an update on his connection with Paris and Bigi (also known as Blanket).

Prince co-founded Heal in 2016 with a mission to end homelessness, child abuse, and hunger in Los Angeles, inspired by his father's own charity work. No doubt, his siblings are incredibly proud of him for his philanthropic efforts.
He previously said of their bond in 2021: "We're all siblings and we're kind of all on that same level where my sister has her strengths, and my brother has his strengths, and where I'm not as strong in certain areas, they complement me in that way.

The 27-year-old in turn must be super proud of Paris, as his younger sister recently announced her engagement on social media. Paris will be getting married to her bandmate Justin Long, after sharing a number of romantic photos of their proposal.
The photo carousel on Instagram of the couple's moments together included the moment he popped the question, as he bent down on one knee to ask her to marry him.
