The 60-year-old singer, who has kept a lower profile than most of her relatives, said the loss of Michael was 'devastating'.

'It's been like a living nightmare, to be very honest,' Rebbie, who helped raise her brother, admitted on U.S. TV's The View.

Rebbie dismissed reports of dissent among family members over the distribution of Jackson's estate - and insisted the trial over his death has instead brought them closer.

'Everybody is working toward wanting to see justice because of the way he died,' she said.

When asked about Dr Conrad Murray, she replied: 'I have faith in the judicial system and we are going to find out the truth with everything in these few weeks.'

Asked if when she looks at Conrad she feels like she is looking at her brother's killer she paused before admitting: 'Yes I do. I do. But I want the truth to come out. It's very difficult - you have to see there and see all that.'

She admits that the 'family was very much aware' that Michael had problems with drug use and 'there were many times there were interventions'.

'But even though that's the case, still it has to be explained and exposed what happened at the end,' she stressed.

She said her mother Katherine 'seems to be holding on', adding: 'My mum has a very strong constitution - she knows what she wants to do and she's doing it just fine.' ( dalymail.co.uk )
