All six of Combs' children who were present spoke at the sentencing. According toCNN, they stood together at a podium in the courtroom as they made their statements.
"We're going to love him unconditionally through his struggles," Quincy said, who was the first of Combs' kids to address the court. "But in front of you and in front of us is a changed man."
"Our father has learned a major lesson," he continued. "Week after week, we've seen him evolve, something we haven't seen in 15 years. He's completely transformed."
According toNBC News, Christian said his dad was "the greatest in the world." Combs' third eldest noted, "He is my hero, has always been my hero, and always will be my hero. He always taught me to treat women with respect."
In her remarks, Jessie acknowledged that her dad "isn't perfect and he has made many mistakes and we aren't here to excuse any of those mistakes," per CNN. She added, "But your honor, he is still our dad, and we still need him present in our lives."
D'Lila asked the judge for "the chance" for the family "to heal together." She continued, "To rebuild, to change, to move forward, not as a headline but as human beings who are trying to do better."
Meanwhile, Chance shared, "We're still just daughters who need our father," revealing that their dad was "working on becoming a better man and a more present father."
Love was not present, but according to CNN, she was brought up by D'Lila, who said, "We are scared for our 2-year-old little sister that runs to us every night asking where daddy is. We cannot watch our baby sister grow up fatherless the same way we had to grow up fatherless."

"A second chance at life, a second chance to right his wrongs, a second chance to be the man he truly is," he continued.
Justin called his dad his "superhero," adding that he has "changed for the better."
"Your honor, I believe my father still has so much more to give the world and, more importantly, so much more to give his children," he continued.

The rapper's children have not spoken publicly aboutSean Combs: The Reckoning, which debuted on Netflix on Dec. 2.
His family has not made any public remarks, but according to theBBC, a spokesman for Combs said the documentary "relied on stolen footage" and is "a shameful hit piece."
Director Alexandria Stapleton defended the use, telling Tudum, "It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights."
"One thing about Sean Combs is that he's always filming himself, and it's been an obsession throughout the decades," she added.
