La Toya Jackson, 62, dazzles in silver sequinned jacket as she makes an animated arrival at the Race to Erase MS Gala in LA

La Toya Jackson was putting on an animated display on Friday night, as she attended the Race to Erase MS (Multiple sclerosis) Gala in Los Angeles.

The singer, 62, dazzled in a silver sequinned jacket as she posed up a storm for the event in The Beverly Hilton Hotel, which aims to raise funds for research into the condition.

La Toya's outing came several months after child sex abuse claims were made against her late brother Michael in the documentary Leaving Neverland.

La Toya was in high spirits as she made her way into the gala, opting for a military inspired look with some added sparkle.

The music legend sported a silver sequinned jacket with matching knee-high boots, as well as a silver chain belt that cinched in her waist.

La Toya kept her blonde tresses poker straight and she added a hint of colour with a statement red lip.

The star's outing came several months after claims of child sex abuse against her late brother Michael were revealed in the documentary Leaving Neverland.

Thriller hitmaker Michael, who died in 2009, has been accused of child sex abuse by Wade Robson and James Safechuck in the shocking and divisive documentary. 

There had been persistent rumours throughout Jackson's life, but no allegations were ever substantiated. 

Just weeks later a 1993 interview with La Toya also resurfaced, where she alleged her brother was a paedophile.

In the clip, she claimed she had seen hush money cheques paid to youngsters for 'very, very large sums.'

She made the accusations after the father of 13-year-old Jordy Chandler accused the King of Pop of molesting his son - there was a subsequent settlement.

Speaking to MTV in the unearthed video from 1993, LaToya says: 'Michael is my brother, I love him a great deal but I cannot, and will not, be a silent collaborator of his crimes against small, innocent children.  

'If I remain silent then it means I fuel the guilt and humiliation these children are feeling and I think it's very wrong.'
