A lawyer for Michael Jackson's mother has said Katherine Jackson has spoken with the singer's three children after several days of questions about her whereabouts amid a family feud.

Perry Sanders Jr said Katherine - the guardian of Prince, Paris and Blanket - spoke with them on Tuesday.

A relative reported her missing on Saturday, but she was later found with relatives in Arizona. Paris had repeatedly posted to Twitter that she hasn't spoken with her grandmother since July 15.

Jermaine Jackson has said his mother was following doctor's orders and resting with family.

A court hearing on the Jackson guardianship now appears likely, with attorneys for the estate and a guardian ad litem appearing at a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday morning.
