Elisabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson were BFFs for decades. When the tragic news broke yesterday, media outlets said that Elisabeth was "too devastated" to issue a statement. Today she has spoken out on Michael Jackson's untimely passing. Elisabeth said,
"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."

Great find, I thought she was still keeping quiet as she was too upset. I think it's taken a few celebrities the whole of today to process this. :(

Liz's statement was one of the most genuine so far. I see a lot of celebrities coming out of the wood work, claiming how they were "such good friends with Michael," but with Liz, you knew it was true and you know she is sincere. You know she truly loved Michael and was always very supportive of him, even when he was going through his controversies. Even when people criticized her for supporting him, she always, always stood by him.Thanks for posting this. I still can't believe Michael is gone. :(
