Not all of Michael Jackson’s friends attended the memorial service at the Staples Center yesterday, but many of them did chose to tweet their respects:

• Paris Hilton:  ‘In tears watching the MJ Memorial Service on TV, so touching. Everyone loves you Michael!’
• Paula Abdul:  ‘Remembering MJ and the true legend that he was and will live on to be… I’m taking some time to reflect today.’
• Kelly Osborne: ‘MJ’s children are so brave to stand up there and remember their father while the whole world is watching!’
• Brandy: ‘Michael Jackson will forever inspire my soul and forever live in my heart. He is an angel that can now see his wings. R.I.P’

  Some that attended tweeted from the service as well:

• Kim Kardashian: ‘Michael’s children were so brave brave 2 stand there on stage & speak to the world about their father…I spoke at my dad’s funeral & it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I was shaking & crying & what Paris did was sooo soooo brave!’
• Diddy: ‘Just left funeral. Very sad! Rip MJ!!!’
• Nick Cannon: ‘A day of mourning. Here in the Staples Center, God is absolutely present.’
