Jones' funeral was held in Los Angeles and was attended by all of his kids.
Quincy Jones has been laid to rest in an incredibly private funeral.
RadarOnline.com can reveal all of the legendary producer's adult children were on hand to say goodbye to their father following his death at the age of 91.
Jones was laid to rest in a funeral attended by all of his seven children.
The family shared the funeral, which took place in Los Angeles, was an “intimate ceremony included Mr. Jones’ seven children, his brother, two sisters, and immediate family members”.
While the family did not reveal specific details of what went down, they told the Associated Press they are “enormously grateful for the outpouring of condolences and tributes from his friends and fans from around the world".
They added: "Details for a memorial celebration of Mr. Jones’ life will be announced at a later date."
Jones died at the age of 91.
Jones shared his seven kids: Jolie, 71; Rachel, 61; Martina, 58; Quincy III, 56; Kidada, 50; Rashida, 48; and Kenya, 31, with five different women.
Following the death of her father, Rashida took to Instagram to deliver a touching tribute, calling him a "giant".
Alongside a photo of her father holding her as a baby, the actress wrote: "My dad was nocturnal his whole adult life. He kept 'jazz hours' starting in high school and never looked back. When I was little, I would wake up in the middle of the night to search for him.
"Undoubtedly, he would be somewhere in the house, composing (old school, with a pen and sheet music). He would never send me back to bed. He would smile and bring me into his arms while he continued to work...there was no safer place in the world for me."
Jones' daughter Rashida paid tribute to her famous father, calling him a 'giant' and 'culture shifter'.
Rashida continued: "He was a giant. An icon. A culture shifter. A genius... He was love. He made everyone he ever met feel loved and seen. That’s his legacy."
The Parks and Recreation star concluded: "I was fortunate enough to experience this love in close proximity. I’ll miss his hugs and kisses and unconditional devotion and advice. Daddy, it is an honor to be your daughter. Your love lives forever."
