Michael Jackson's family have been celebrating Conrad Murray's sentencing with X-Factor pal Simon Cowell.

Members of the Jackson family - including his children, mother and siblings Jackie, Tito and Marlon - turned up for the live-taping of tonight's episode X-Factor USA.

The Jackson clan watched from the front row as X-Factor contestants put their own twist on some of Michael Jackson's greatest hits.

The late singer's mother, Katherine, is said to be a huge fan of the show.
