LOS ANGELES — The executors of Michael Jackson’s estate said Tuesday they were concerned about the welfare of the singer’s mother and children amid a family feud over money that has prompted three police investigations.

Executors John Branca and John McClain wrote in a letter posted online to fans of the pop star that they were doing all they can to protect his children.

“We are concerned that we do what we can to protect them from undue influences, bullying, greed, and other unfortunate circumstances,” states the letter, posted just hours after deputies responded to reports of a family disturbance at the hilltop home where Katherine Jackson, 82, and her three grandchildren live.

No arrests were made, but officials say there is an active battery investigation.

Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 and left his estate to care for his mother and three children. He left nothing to his father or siblings, who have repeatedly tried to intervene in the estate.

Sandra Ribera, an attorney for Katherine Jackson, said authorities were called after the singer’s children were accosted in their gated community in Calabasas.

“Jackson family members ran up to Michael’s children as they yelled and began to aggressively grab at the cellphones in their hands,” Ribera wrote in a statement.

Video footage obtained by “Good Morning America” and celebrity website TMZ appears to show Michael Jackson’s siblings Janet, Randy and Jermaine in the driveway of the home.

Ribera claims “a plan has been in place for the last three years to remove Katherine Jackson from her home and her beloved grandchildren.”

Katherine Jackson was reported missing over the weekend but was later found to be with her daughter Rebbie in Arizona.

A sheriff’s spokesman said the missing person’s investigation has been closed, as has an inquiry about possible elder abuse.

Steve Whitmore said an abundance of caution has investigators still looking into claims that Katherine Jackson is the subject of financial abuse.

Actress Cybill Shepherd to marry psychologist

NEW YORK — Cybill Shepherd is hoping the third time’s the charm.

The 62-year-old actress’ publicist confirmed that Shepherd is planning to marry a former jeweler-turned-psychologist named Andrei Nikolajevic.

News of the engagement was first reported by the Daily News in New York.

Shepherd was previously married to David Ford and Bruce Oppenheim and has three children from those relationships.

In an interview in March with The Associated Press for her TV show “The Client List,” Shepherd confirmed she had a boyfriend and said they “managed to stay under the radar.” She said she was “very happy” with her life.

Matt Damon: Political parties, media ignoring public’s anger

SAN DIEGO — Matt Damon says there’s a sense of fury in the U.S. over banking scandals and financial inequality that neither Democrats nor Republicans are addressing in their presidential campaigns.

He made his comments at Comic-Con in San Diego, where he was promoting the sci-fi thriller “Elysium.” The film is set for release in March.

The actor said he expects President Obama to be re-elected but isn’t as staunch a supporter as he once was.

“I’ve said before I’m really disappointed in him, and I am, particularly because of the banking stuff. He so misread that,” Damon said.

Damon, 41, said both parties and the mainstream media haven’t paid enough attention to groups like the tea party and the Occupy movement.

“I don’t think the Republicans or the Democrats really understand the level of anger at the sense of unfairness that the majority of people in the country feel,” he said.
