Aaliyah's family send message to fans

Aaliyah’s family has released a message to their daughter’s fans, to mark the fifth anniversary of the R&B singer’s death.

Here is the message from the Haughton family in full:

"We greatly appreciate everyone's love and well wishes over the past 5 years. You are constantly loving of Aaliyah; honoring her and the Haughton Family and we will never forget what you have done. Thou it has been five years, it really has not been that long as we are still reeling from the year of 2001. We all have come a very long way and we recognize that however, we have lost so much.

“Aaliyah is no longer with us on this earth but we have come far enough to understand that she is all around us and she is always here for us. On the 25th of every year, we donate money to a charity on behalf of the Aaliyah Memorial Fund.

Aaliyah is here, she is still here, giving, caring, loving. We will never be the same after August 25th 2001 but we know there is a place that we will all end up one day. A place where Aaliyah is waiting and all of us are going to make it there… we will all make it.

“We love everyone of you who and appreciate everyone who has done something in Aaliyah's name big or small. Whatever it is you all have done, it means the world to us. As long as every year, you remember Aaliyah and her friends on August 25th, we know in our hearts everything is going to be alright.

“All our love, from the bottom of our hearts, to the depths of our souls. Until again. With Aaliyah In our Hearts. The Haughton Family. P.S. Someday we will come and join you all in honoring and loving baby girl. In time..."
