LOS ANGELES — Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor has spoken out about her sadness after Michael Jackson's death, amid tabloid rumors she was hospitalized by grief.
"I'm home from the hospital sore, but intact. Of course I'm still grieving for Michael...I always will," the 77-year-old said via Twitter late on Friday.
The two-time Oscar-winning actress, who was a long-time friend of Jackson, earlier said she was struggling to contemplate life without the singing star.
She told fans she was going into hospital to "complete a test I was in the middle of."
But she sounded a resolute tone Friday: "I've had many tragedies in my life, but I guess they have all taught me something. I have to look at it that way", she said.
Jackson died on June 25 aged 50 after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles, though investigators have been scrutinizing the possible role of drugs in his death.
