AI brings dead Hollywood legends back to life in poignant tribute

Posted on March 14, 2026

Hollywood greats have been brought back to life, thanks to AI. In the tribute video to the fallen stars, many talented and celebrated artists are immortalised.

In a mock Celestial Awards ceremony, the late Kobe Bryant presented the Legacy Honours award.

Stars like Prince, Tupac, Biggie, Selena, and Aaliyah were on hand to watch King of Pop, Michael Jackson, receive the award, which irks Prince.

In his signature hair and fashion, Jackson walked up to the stage to take his trophy.

An annoyed Prince walked out of the auditorium, much to the amusement of Bob Marley and Nipsey Hussle, who had earlier shared a joint.

The AI versions of the late Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe and singing giant Whitney Houston sat together, while Aaliyah admiringly looked up at Jackson as he made his speech.

“I heard there’s royalty in the room tonight,” a smiling Jackson said, as Bryant looked on.

“But what’s a prince to a king,” he concluded, much to the amusement of the crowd.

The comment section was moved, with fans expressing how many of the stars met their untimely deaths and how vast the gaps they left in their respective spaces in entertainment.
