MUMBAI: Scores of Michael Jackson fans left behind tributes to the departed entertainer at an auction of items from the singer's home, where he breathed his last died in 2009.

"This means a lot because we don't have a place to go [to leave things for the family]," said Christine Tucker, a spokeswoman for the Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California is reported to have said.

It also encouraged fans to leave pictures, flowers and other handmade trinkets that will be delivered to the Jackson family.

About 25 members of the fan club spent the weekend making handmade Christmas ornaments for the tribute.

On Sunday, Julien's Auctions invited fans to preview its exhibit of the home's art and furnishings before it opens to the public. The latest auction will be held coming Saturday.
