In a chilling tribute to the King of Pop, a massive crowd gathered outside the gates of Michael Jackson's Holmby Hills home on Thursday evening (June 25).

With Jackson's family members and friends - including Rick and Kathy Hilton - pulling past security one by one, the legions of Michael's supporters quickly amassed sprawling vigils in honor of the pop legend, who passed away from a heart attack earlier in the day.

With an autopsy already expedited, the Los Angeles Robbery and Homicide devision has been assigned to the high profile death to make sure everything goes smoothly.

As for Michael's three children, Prince Michael Jackson I, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II, a Jackson family lawyer named Brian Oxman says that they will likely to be looked after by Michael's mom, Katherine Jackson.

"Probably Mrs Jackson will take care of them, she loves them dearly," Oxman said. "Everyone is crying and it's very sad."
