On the red carpet before the gala event, ET's Kevin Frazier spoke with Paris and Prince who reflected how they are honouring their late father on this milestone anniversary of his life.
"Being here today is definitely an awe-inspiring feeling, because our father was the King of Pop and he did so much," Prince said, with his sister by his side. "He did so much for the music industry, but I think he put emphasis and importance on the charitable contributions to humanity that he really used his platform to support."
