London, October 15 : Michael Jackson's pet chimp is yet to get his hands on the 1 million pounds he was left by the King of Pop in his will, according to reports.

The late singer was said to have left the staggering amount to ensure a "secure long-term future" for the 27-year-old primate Bubbles.

But the chimp's former owner Bob Dunne, who arranged Bubbles' "adoption" by the star, said the pet had been "frozen out" by Jackson's family since his death.

"We've heard nothing. I'm not sure we will do either. He's frozen out," the Daily Star quoted Dunne as saying.

A source close to the Jacksons said: "Michael will turn in his grave if Bubbles' future is not financially secure." (ANI)
