Diddy‘s sons are in New York watching their father go through an indictment and court proceedings … but his teenage twin daughters are hanging back in California with a family friend.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Diddy’s teen, twin girls 17-year-old D’Lila and 17-year-old Jessie are currently in Los Angeles under the care of their late mother Kim Porter’s best friend, Lala.
We’re told Lala has acted as a caregiver for the girls for several years, though she is NOT a legal guardian.
TMZ broke the story … Kim was found dead inside her Toluca Lake home in November 2018.
Our sources say the girls are currently attending school in L.A. and Lala oversees their day-to-day schedules. We’re told Lala does her best to protect the girls and keep the outside noise away … and she acts as a mother figure.
