Prince's half-brother, Maurice Philllips, spoke with media and fans who were gathered at the gates, telling them that the family is "willing to share and talk to people."

Phillips also admitted that his wife is "doing better than me," and that their six kids are handling the situation very well. "They're taking it pretty good, but the paparazzi is chasing them down, following them and all that," he said.

Prince's bassist, Larry Graham, addressed fans as well, going down a line of people and hugging them. He thanked everyone for coming out, letting them know that they were "bringing the love out here."

Graham also opened up to ET, admitting that he needs all the hugs he can get and saying, "We've got a great support team, from the little ones to the big ones. It's amazing, and thank y'all so much."
