MICHAEL Jackson, 50, has suffered a heart attack and died, gossip website TMZ reports.
Paramedics were unable to revive him.
TMZ were told: "when paramedics arrived, Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back."
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.
The website reports he had been taken to hospital in LA after CPR treatment by paramedics who were called to his home.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics were first at the scene of the singer's $US100,000-a-month rented home in Holmby Hills near Sunset Boulevard about 12.12pm (local time) to find him not breathing, the Los Angeles Times reported.
He died at UCLA hospital.
Jackson was reportedly planning a comeback and was living in LA while rehearsing a series of 50 sold-out shows in London, the Los Angeles Times has reported.
According to his will, Jackson's final resting place will be Neverland Ranch, though environmentalist groups are lobbying against this, arguing that his face will take centuries to biodegrade.
