Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Daughter With Kim Porter Told the Judge, 'We Are Scared'
D’Lila Combs, one of Combs' daughters, spoke "through tears," according to CNN.
“We are scared, scared of the thought of not having our dad and our mom present in our lives. 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,” she said to the judge.
“Please, your honor, please, give our family the chance to heal together, to rebuild, to change, to move forward, not as a headline but as human beings who are trying to do better," she added, according to CNN.

His other twin daughter, Jessie, 18, told the court, “He’s still our dad. We still need him present in our lives," according to The New York Post.
"We've lost our mother, we’ve lost time with our father and every day he remains incarcerated, we lose more and more," D'Lila Combs told the judge, according to The Post.
Christian Combs, 27, told the judge, per the Post, "To me, my dad is the greatest man in the world."
"In front of you is a changed man," said Quincy Brown, the son Combs adopted with Porter, according to The Post.
