Lamar Odom‘s daughter and young son have released a joint statement via CNN asking for “prayers” for their pops.

Destiny, 17, and 13-year-old son Lamar Jr.,13, arrived in Las Vegas accompanied by Odom’s decade-long babymama, Liza Morales on Wednesday night.

In the statement the kids tearfully said: “Thanks for your outpouring of prayers and support for our dad. We are here with our family and friends. We appreciate everyone respecting our privacy at this time. We ask for your continued prayers.” h/t people

Morales and Odom were together for 10 years before ending their relationship in 2008, around the time everything started going downhill for the athlete.
