The late Michael Jackson's youngest son, Blanket, makes a rare appearance with his older siblings, Paris and Prince, in a Christmas photo.

The siblings came together on Monday, Dec. 25, to celebrate the holidays, as recorded in an Instagram post from Paris. The three posed together with friend Omer Bhatti for the rare family photo.

"Happy christmas from ours to yours," the model-actress greeted in the caption.

Blanket, who now goes by the name B.G., has been rarely seen in photographs since his father's funeral in 2009. Unlike his older siblings, the youngest Jackson has so far stayed away from the limelight. Among the siblings, he is the one who truly followed the advice of his father, who would put masks on them when they were younger, to shield them from the prying eyes of the media.

Last month, however, their grandfather Joseph Jackson also released a photo of him alongside Blanket and posted it on Twitter.

It was followed by a somewhat cryptic video message, where he expressed his love for his youngest grandson as well as his other grandchildren.

Following the death of the King of Pop, the now 15-year-old Blanket has been staying with his grandmother Katherine Jackson, who serves as his legal guardian, alongside his cousin T.J. But in late October, reports revealed that the 87-year-old grandma has bowed down on her role as guardian and has passed on sole custodianship to T.J., just until Blanket turns 18.

Despite his relatively more private life, Blanket has remained close with his siblings. In an interview with Today's Natalie Morales back in October, Prince boasted about their bond.

"Me and my siblings get along really well, especially my sister," Prince shared. "She's grown so much and she's been able to really step up. I don't really see myself as her older brother. We're equal partners when it comes down to it. B.G. is just so mature for his age. It's a pretty strong bond."
