Tito died on September 15 after a heart attack. He was 70.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson, is no longer with us,” his sons, Taj, 51, Taryll, 49, and TJ Jackson, 46, said in a joint statement on Instagram at the time.

Former Jackson family manager Steve Manning later told “Entertainment Tonight” that Tito had a heart attack while driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma.

After the death of her uncle, Paris took to social media to share a throwback photo of him with her late father, Michael, who died in June 2009 from cardiac arrest caused by a lethal combination of sedatives and propofol.

She wrote: “Rest in menopause uncle tito .”
