If there is any doubt about the impact Michael Jackson had on the world, one doesn’t need to look any further than the reaction on Twitter today.

Tweets flew in from every part of the globe during his memorial service Tuesday in Los Angeles, California.

Global tweets suggest that the moment that “got” everyone most – the one that transcends cultures and shows the interconnectivity of the human race – was when Paris Jackson, Michael’s daughter, took the stage and gave a short address. Fighting back tears and proclaiming her love for her father, the 11-year-old’s words captivated the world.

Here’s a roundup of tweets today from 20 countries around the world, representing each of the major continents.
