Elizabeth Taylor Tweets on Jackson's Death

Elizabeth Taylor -- who initially was "too devastated" to comment on the passing of her dear friend Michael Jackson -- has just released a statement via her Twitter account:

Michael & Elizabeth
"My heart ... my mind ... are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. It can't be so. He will live in my heart forever but it's not enough. My life feels so empty. I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest most giving love I've ever known. Oh God! I'm going to miss him. I can't yet imagine life without him. But I guess with God's help ... I'll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, 'To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.' And, I will love HIM forever."

Taylor is the one who gave Jackson his royal title, The King of Pop.

31. Some of you people should be ashamed of yourselves. You should never speak ill of the dead. If you didn't like him then why are you on TMZ reading the news stories. Grow up and find something better to do with your time. Michael will truly be miss.

33. This is ridiculous, if you do not have anything nice to say-don't say anything at all. The point is he's dead, whatever happened in his life-right or wrong these comments are just down right hateful,disgusting and inhuman. God judges him and noone else. Who are you to say he will burn in hell? Remember you will be judged one day to.......Elizabeth Taylor is reacting to the death of a friend, these cruel comments show what the world is coming to. May you never be in this position, to hear such hate spewed out about a dead loved one.

34. I would agree he's the genius of the last two decades of the music industry everyone appeals to his music, and will be greatly missed, but we've had the best from him on a musical level, i wanna know why debbie row had nothing to do with her kids, did micheal pay her off? she must see them in the media from time to time and wonder if staying away is the right thing, if not ,she dont deserve to have her kids full time but i do think kids need there natural mother even if it she only vists them on a weekend basis. it is a shame but just goes to show enjoy your time here you never know whats around the corner. paula london

35. I'll always remember michael the way he was in the 80's. Those of us who were kids of that era will always have respect and admiration for him and all that he brought to the worlds of dance and music. As a young child i can say most certaintly that i never knew anyone who couldnt or never tried to moonwalk! Whether you were a fan or not, you acknowledged the fact that he was a big part or our cultural history and upbringing. For myself and my 10 year old daughter (yes, she's been a fan for years now) we will be remembering him the way he was when he first inspired me.

36. May he rest in peace, I wish I had a chance to meet him, I was and am a fan. I don't believe in the charges against him at all. I believe he was innocent, and to get blamed for something like that and not being able to prove your self innocent to the world would make any person depressed enough to take prescribed medicine. I hope he is now in peace and may Allah rest his soul...

37. I have just now read some of these comments and am absolutely appalled by those of you who are commenting in such a cruel and judgemental tone. How dare any human being out there criticize and judge celebrities (all of whom are "human beings," too, surprise, surprise), and many of whom never experienced their childhood years! Dame Elizabeth, obviously, had much in common with Michael, and she had the compassion, empathy and sensitivity to realize that early on, and thus, befriend him. This was a purer love than, I am sure, many of you so-called religious (no doubt Repug) hypocrites could ever understand and experience. You are simply unable to relate, and I feel sorry for you. Remember, please, he was found INNOCENT, and anyone who knew him well, not only believed he would never, ever harm a child, but also every single one speaks of Michael in glowing terms re his goodness, kindness, and ability to be a warm and caring friend. by Pat

38. Please let him in peace, all is ready, he must goes in peace, his soul suffers so much, forget you all the bad, we are not perfect, nobody is perfect, we all are a big all, he was only a side for us, is as a tree, he was a leave so as we are. It is so how it must be.

39. If you are going to slam him, would you please use Spell Check first, so you don't look like a raving lunatic and an idiot. One is fine, but must you wipe out the validity of your comments by also being lazy?

41. Dear World,
I am wondering where the true basic feeling of COMPASSION has been hiding? As I read the comments of so many stories about War, hunger, death and daily living I am struck by the hatred and disgust of so many of you. I am sure you are wonderful people and your family and friends love you. Please take some of that love and share it with a stranger.
Step into someone else's shoes for a change and try to understand and have compassion. I promise it will be a great journey.

43. I am very sad about Michael Jackson's death. I grew up with his music, Iam 50 years old and now my grandsons listen to his music, My 33 year old son would imitate him in talent shows.,when he was little boy.. How very SAD, how he died. I truly believe he was NOT a happy person,but a true genius. A great loss for the music world and for us !!!
My heart goes out to his children, his Mother, and all his brothers and sisters...May God help all of them during these trying time !!!
I love you Michael ,and I will always remeber you personally, as part of my childhood!
God Bless you and may you rest in Peace......Your music will ALWAYS live in our Hearts!!!!!!

44. TMZ, can't u just disable comments, so MJ's family doesn't have to see how cruel people are. Don't allow all these mean things to be posted come on have some respect for the family.

45. I just do not understand how some people can be so insensitive at a time like this. We lost 2 great people on Thursday. This man do not deserve to be disrespected when he is no longer here. I have and will continue to be a fan of Michael regardless of what people say. He is human and deserve to rest in peace just like any normal person. He did not choose his fame. He loved children because he did not have a NORMAL childhood. Elizabeth Taylor was just speaking about their close relationship. I thought this was the land to speak freely without being judged by idiots.
