Michael Jackson's longtime physician passed away in California.

Dr. Arnold Klein, who was Jackson's dermatologist, was pronounced dead shortly before 8pm on Thursday night.

Klein, who was 70-years-old, was also suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and confined to a wheelchair at the time of his death.

He was at one time Hollywood's biggest dermatologist, but that all changed following Michael's death when he came under fire for his treatment of the pop star and began speaking publicly about the singer's personal life.

Dr. Klein also strongly hinted on multiple occasions that he was the biological father of Michael's two oldest children, Prince and Paris.

Dr. Klein was admitted to the hospital four days ago suffering severe abdominal pains according to TMZ.

In 2013, Dr. Klein posted a photo of himself and Prince Jackson on Facebook implying that he was the biological father of Michael's oldest son.

Michael met the biological mother of Prince, Debbie Rowe, through Dr. Klein because she was his medical assistant.

Prince actually addressed these rumors just hours before Dr. Klein's death on Twitter when someone wrote that he was not a Jackson but rather a Rowe-Klein.

He responded by saying; 'The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb ... I was raised by my dad with my brother and sister.'

Carrie Fisher, a friend and patient of Dr. Klein's. said in a 2012 interview with The New York Times that he should stop speaking about the topic of the children's paternity in public.

'Arnie’s desire and enjoyment of publicity has caused some discomfort,' said Fisher.

Klein - who was nicknamed 'The father of Botox' - would often vacation with Jackson and his family and they spent most holidays together.

He began treating Michael in 1983, just months before the singer required major facial work when he hair set on fire while he was filming a Pepsi commercial.

'I spent the night at the hospital, in his room, just telling him what it is like to be burned, because I was badly burned as a two-and-a-half-year-old kid,' Klein told Vanity Fair in a 2012 interview.

'That’s how we really bonded.' Dr. Klein said in that same interview that the first time he met Michael he diagnosed him with lupus and vitiligo, a disease that causes the loss of color in the skin.

He was also heavily investigated after Jackson's death, and it was reported by TMZ that he injected the pop star with the drug demerol 51 times in just three months and also allegedly administered propofol to him before beginning work on an acne treatment.

Dr. Klein also allegedly gave Michael prescriptions for demerol under multiple aliases.

Rowe testified in 2013 that Klein had given Michael propofol, and said that he 'was not doing what was best for Michael' according to the Los Angeles Times.

In the wake of Michael's death Klein said that he planned to file for custody of Jackson's two oldest children.

This despite the fact that he said just weeks after Michael passed away in an interview on Good Morning America; 'To the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children. I can't answer it in any other way. I don't want to feed any of this insanity that is going around.'

Dr. Klein also made allegations to TMZ that the pop star was a homosexual and in love with his office manager, Jason Pfeiffer.

Pfeiffer also back up this statement, saying he and Michael had been intimate on multiple occasions.

The incident upset Dr. Klein's longtime friend and patient Elizabeth taylor so much that she wtook to Twitter to defend Michael, writing; 'Dr. Arnie Klein declared on May 2 that he did not betray Michael Jackson by saying publicly that he had a homosexual relationship with someone in "Arnie's" office. It seems he supplies not only women (Debbie Rowe), but men too ... how convenient.

'Just what we want in our doctors. And then to say he did not betray Michael's confidence. No wonder he has death threats.

'I thought doctors, like priests took an oath of confidentiality. May God have mercy on his soul.'

He later recanted his statement and said that the entire story was made up and untrue.

Michael and Taylor were not Dr. Klein's only famous patients, as he also worked with Cher, Sharon Stone and Dolly Parton, to name just a few.

He was also flown to New York to inject Goldie Hawn's lips with saline during the filming of The First Wives Club.

He lost many of these patients after he began speaking publicly about Michael following his death and the Medical Board of California began investigating his practice.

Dr Klein filed for bankruptcy in 2012, and earlier this year Radar Online reported that he was forced to hand over $11,000 and the rights to any book he planned to publish about Michael to settle his debts with his accountant, Muhammad Khilji.
