Michael Jackson died almost three years ago after overdosing on a drug called anesthesia propofol. Dr Conrad Murray, the late star's physician, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for his role in administering the drug.

She told Oprah that she once felt confused about being made to wear a mask when she was younger, but says she now understands that it was so her and her siblings "could have a normal childhood".
