In a ceremony to honour the King of Pop, Michael Jackson's three children joined their family and other celebrities, including Justin Bieber, at a star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles on Thursday.
During the event, Michael's children Prince, Paris and Blanket stamped the singer's shoes and glove in cement at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
Paris imprinted her father's sequined glove and scribbled his name and Prince Michael and Blanket put their father's shoes into the cement.
"My dad won the lifetime achievement award. It was an award he strived and worked the hardest to get but for me, and I think for him as well, this right here is his lifetime achievement award. This is what he strived to get and this is what we are giving him now today," the Reuters has quoted Prince Michael as saying.
Bieber, who had appeared with Jackson in his 2001 album "You Rock My World," claimed that the King of Pop was his inspiration.
"I want to have that perfection, I want to, you know, be the best I can be, that's what Michael did," Bieber was quoted as saying by the CNN.
The "Thriller" hitmaker's imprints are displayed along with Hollywood screen legends Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Sidney Poitier outside the Hollywood Theatre.
The ceremony included performance by the cast of the Michael Jackson "The Immortal World Tour" by Cirque du Soleil that opens in Los Angeles on Friday.
